In Qala

In Qala (pronounced Ah-la)

I stopped opposite the steps

of the ancient church.

 

Time to chill, relax

take in some sun,

some local beer.

 

The smell of Gozitan cuisine

wafting on the promise

of a reasonably priced menu.

 

The lady who runs the place

leaning through the hatch in the door

explaining her purpose.

We went to Gozo in July for the first time - you conjure up the slow pace of life there, very well
