Yesterday we touched down in Malta! The days blurred together during the flights, but passing over the Swiss alps at 10,000m made up for the rest of the mind numbing travel. Once we arrived, we took a precarious bus ride to our apartments to get situated. All of us promptly passed out and woke up some inordinate amount of time later to a fresh morning in Malta! Upon waking, Jeff, Sara and I took a ~2 hour long walk down the coast of Sliema. Here's what that looked like:
After we got back everybody else was up so we unpacked the gear to check the condition of the robots. We all got a little bit of work done with our projects, and shortly after Tim and I went to the ironmonger (hardware store in Malta) to get some sandpaper/rubbing alcohol/superglue/various other odds and ends. We returned and finished some more work. At around 1:00PM (it felt more like 4:00AM...) the group went out in search of lunch. We stumbled upon a traditional Maltese restaurant and took a seat inside. Everybody in the group tried some wild orders. Billy and I were a little bit tame, and got crab and lobster ravioli. Some of the other orders were more interesting. Jeff got sea urchin pasta, and Tyler got rabbit (below)!
After lunch (which is 3 hours and 6 courses long in Malta), we headed to the grocery store and then back home. Sliema is an incredibly dense city, so navigating can be difficult. We had some trouble in this manner, but found our way back home. Back to work!
