One of the benefits of joining an international office (even temporarily) is that you get to go along on their office outings, which are...a little more exotic than the (every nice) outings for a traditional US office. This year, the Nordic offices all banded together to go to...MALTA!
Below, some scenes of the harbor from the capital city of Valetta...
While peering over one of the stone walls, we caught a regatta kicking off.
Malta has some beautiful churches...
And also some rather unorthodox ones...
Though pretty, there actually wasn't much to see or do in Malta other than wander around the capital and maybe sit on the beach. I got the distinct impression that most visitors come to hang out in nightclubs, which seems like rather a long way to go for a cocktail and to hang out with some foreign tourists.
Of course, not everyone comes to stay for even a night. While exploring Valetta we managed a few calm minutes...
...before one of the cruise ships regurgitated its contents onto the city for a few hours.
Below, something that hasn't seen much use in modern times, but which I think could be aimed at a cruise ship or two with few ill effects...
And of course, there are always some familiar signs of home.
