Mike and Michele's Global Wanderings

Malta is the latest stop on Mike and Michele's global wanderings. In this post they discuss a visit to the Cathedral and to the Hypogeum:
..Malta is a bit like Italy, which makes sense considering the location of the country. On the first day we rested quite a bit since we got up at 2:00am to catch the flight to Malta. The next day we went to an incredibly ornate church where I had to wear a borrowed skirt and shawl since I had on shorts and a tank top. Of course when I went to mosques in Turkey I would wear a head covering, pants, and long sleeves, but I didn’t think to do this in Malta. Turns out that 98% of the country is Catholic and understandably, they want you to show respect when in a church by covering your legs and arms. Everything in St. John’s Co-Cathedral was decorated and I mean everything. Every bit of the floors, walls, and ceilings had paintings...
Goodbye Turkey, Hello Malta!
