Today we started off at a place called Eddie's. Dad's talked about it many times. We thought we'd have a quick breakfast there. We tried their pastizzi, but they weren't as good as the ones from Cordina's. Everyone makes them slightly different. I fed the pigeons that were walking all around us a few of the flakes from the pastry, and I quickly became popular :)
We seemed to have skipped lunch altogether, but for supper, we met up with Aunty Mary and her friend Eugene. They took us to a place called St. James. It is located in a cultural centre. To get to the restaurant, you pass a number of interesting sculptures and artifacts. Joe and I each had a Pizza Toscana. It was one of the day's specials. The pizza had mozzarella, Parma ham and spinach. It was quite tasty. Being a thin crust, it was cooked well and was able to hold the toppings without them falling back onto the plate. For dessert, I ordered a cannoli and Joe had an interesting ricotta torte. I can't remember the name, but it had marzipan on top. We shared them so that we could sample them both without overindulging.
Something I find interesting here, is that everyone drinks bottled water. Some places charge an exorbitant amount of money for a 2L bottle. When we were walking in a town called Marsaskala today, we saw so many discarded bottles, it was sad. I think they recycle the bottles because there are bins that are specifically labeled.
More adventures to come!
Ciao,
Lisa
