We arrived 07 March and have had a busy, tiring, but wonderful first week. We think it might be fun to show you exactly where Malta is in relation to Europe and also where our town is in relation to the rest of the country (scroll down to see Dick’s finger pointing to Malta)
Malta is 5 times the size of Manhattan and has about 500,00 people.
Let’s begin our walk!
Here is our new address:
30 Triq Sir Luigi Camilleri, Sliema, SLM 1843, Malta. Our phone numbers here are +356 7753 1013 (Chris) and +356 7753 0871 (Dick). For the time being our US phone numbers are also still working. Our emails remain the same, dhowardcycles@pm.me and chrishowardspeech@gmail.com
Please continue to send mail to 3916 N Potsdam Ave PMB 5250, Sioux Falls, SD 57104
Let’s turn right up toward Triq Guze Howard (Howard Street). The street is named after Joseph Howard who served as Malta’s frst Prime Minister from 1921-1923.
You can get an idea of the size of our place from this shot. Our apartment is all on the first level: two bedrooms, one bath.
We are walking toward Triq Guze Howard.
There is a Howard residence and a hotel…
You turn at the next corner and head back toward the sea…

Now we turn right again and walk up the promenade.
Then after another right we’re almost home – a 20 minute walk completed…
Lest you think this is “Malta”, here is what awaits a short drive away…
A little more information about our first week: we saw our friends Mike and Theresa, we got wi-fi for the apartment, we met with Price Waterhouse again, we’ve seen our landlady several times, we met with our realtor, we found grocery stores we can walk to, and tonight (drumroll), we are taking the ferry to Valletta to see a movie.
In our next post, we’ll share a few more details about our town and our activities.
Once our boxes arrive, Chris want’s to decorate and do a seperate post about that. We are both eager to finish “settling in” and start exploring more widely.
Love to all.
