Matt's Lagoon

Vienna based Matthew Gottsch, author of Welcome to the Movie Life, blogs about his honeymoon trip to Malta with his wife Kathi:

We arrived back to Vienna last night from our holiday in Malta (just in time to watch Auburn take a good beating). The island has a beautiful natural setting along with a great history so we really enjoyed our week there. We stayed in a small, quiet city on the north side of the island named Mellieha and we spent several days there just enjoying the sea, clear skies, and good books. I took a few good pictures during our stay so most of this next week will probably be posts about Malta (possibly including little history lessons along with my snapshots)..

I don't think I have ever seen a more beautiful setting then the Blue Lagoon. The water is so clear there that you can see straight to the bottom (probably 20 to 30 feet down), and we were able to watch the fish and jellyfish live their lives for a short time. I want a currently undiscovered lagoon of my own that can only be reached by boat that I can share with my wife and occasionally family and friends (maybe I will ask for one Cheesy Gordita Crunch per admittance). I will begin my sure to be long search for "Matt's Lagoon" immediately. Good day, and I will share more of Malta with you throughout the week...
