Already August!!

July has flown by without my noticing.... so many things going on and many others in need of catching up with.... one of the biggest priorities on my to do list is to finish off reading my module and start working on my assignment before heading off for summer vacation..... well the module is ready... I read most of what I thought was relevant... between work and gym and parties and beach..... but I somehow cannot get myself to start working on the assignment....... Beginning of August is my target to at least get some reasearch done and have my plan.... before I fill september with travels to Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt again!!

The highlights of the month of july.....

1. A 2 day trip to Tunisia... to run a training for the managers there.... although it was work and not pleasure... I still managed to snatch a couple of hours relaxing by the Mediterranean......

2. Home

Yeap... the expiry of my visa is a good excuse to head home for a couple of days and enjoy some, shopping, food and good company.....

upon landing in Malta... my parents treated me to a good pizza and wine whilst enjoying the beautiful view of Marsaxlokk....

Yesterday evening, my uncle came to visit us!! I hadn't seen my uncle in years.... he also has itchy feet and is currently living in Pakistan doing Missionary work... he is now in Malta for a couple of weeks for a break.....

Enjoying a traditional Maltese 'Fenkata' (Rabbit) with my uncle, parents, brother and Rezza, and Indonisian friend I met in Libya, and who is also here renewing his visa for Malta

I also had the time to shop... meet up with Michelle (a maltese I met in Libya) for wine by the beach in the afternoon sun, renew my ID Card and eat pastizzi......

Another one and a half days left of Malta then back to Libya...
