Just returned from parliament.Interesting titbits to-day.I think that no matter how Merkel tries ,it takes a miracle to get what earth needs from Copenhagen summit.Valletta is especially beautiful after sunset.I love driving up towards proud Castile's softly lit facade.The magnificent doorways, weird corbels,handsome knockers ,somehow are more assertive at night.The quiet streets ,are as mysterious as they are romantic ..... the intoxicating smells of gourmet food mixes well with wafts of brewing strong coffee...and sweet tobacco..
