FOLLOW OUR UNUSUAL LIFE ABROAD (currently in MALTA) IN THE FOREIGN SERVICE. Sunday, March 29, 2015. Filling in the Space- Milan, Italy. The previous couple posts were the brunt of our time in Milan. And I found it easier to post pics, if I chopped up the trip. Kinda have a habit of oversnapping pics.kinda. We enjoyed the Katy Perry concert, Lunar New Year and Duomo immensely, but these little tidbits sure made us happy, as well. Having no real agenda was nice ;) Loving lunch pizza so much that we ordered...

http://beyondthecornfields.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
FOLLOW OUR UNUSUAL LIFE ABROAD (currently in MALTA) IN THE FOREIGN SERVICE. Monday, June 30, 2014. Our sweet neighbor invited us to come pick nectarines at his farm recently. So on a fresh summer day during our school break, we meandered down the winding alleys and streets of Gharghur and landed at his gate. A week's worth of nectarines, flowers and big smiles. such a nice morning! We've also had the great opportunity to visit other local farms. Monday, June 23, 2014. World Cup at the Aquarium.

Beyond the Cornfields: Behind the Scenes Tour- Malta National Aquarium
http://beyondthecornfields.blogspot.com/2015/05/behind-scenes-tour-malta-national.html
FOLLOW OUR UNUSUAL LIFE ABROAD (currently in MALTA) IN THE FOREIGN SERVICE. Monday, May 18, 2015. Behind the Scenes Tour- Malta National Aquarium. Aside from beaches, the Malta Aquarium has to be our most frequented place in Malta that we go as a family. It is solitude from winter gloom and a retreat from summer heat. It teaches. It relaxes. It amazes each of us in our own way. The playground keeps the kids thrilled, but so do the fish. I love that they are both so familiar and at home at the aquarium.

FOLLOW OUR UNUSUAL LIFE ABROAD (currently in MALTA) IN THE FOREIGN SERVICE. Thursday, May 21, 2015. Verdala International Night- Malta- 2015. Each year, the International school hosts an evening International Night. It is one of the biggest events, with each table filled with various country's foods and treats. We all pitch in, cook and volunteer at the stands. Our stand was a hit, maybe in part because of awesome Ruben, who was yelling out "get your hot dogs, get your fresh popcorn! Wife, mama, gardener...

Departure Blues | In-Flight Movie
https://inflightmovie.wordpress.com/2015/06/26/departure-blues
Our Adventures in the Foreign Service. June 26, 2015 in Uncategorized. Our living room mostly packed. So it’s been kind of a rough week! First of all, we had our HHE packed out on Monday and Tuesday. It was fairly uneventful, barring the fact that they were 30 minutes late and sent three guys instead of the four they’d said were coming. But they still managed to get it all done in two days. They’re coming back next week to collect the UAB. We also had to pay $200 in damages for various bits of government...
