I am not a religious person. My Jewish parents, native New Yorkers, grew up hiding their ethnicity. I was raised on Christmas, didn’t have a Bat Mitzvah, or go to synagogue.
Until yesterday, I never believed God was a sentient being, but guys…look who lives down the block from me in Malta.

Day 3 in Malta: Scotch Tape narrow sidewalks! Most beautiful houses. Haven’t figured out bus system yet so haven’t left Rabat. Too broke to take cabs everywhere. Food is top notch. Everything is SO AFFORDABLE! Today I give you doors.

Day 1 in Malta. Impressions: it’s humid and moldy. My allergies are on full volume, and I have jet lag. Everything is limestone, the sidewalks are incredible narrow, the buildings are stunning, the food is fantastic and the groceries (so far) are cheap. Can’t wait to acclimate.
