Traveling with Latitude 38

November 7 - Malta

Per Curtiss writes, "Whether on my Cal 31 out of Marina del Rey, or on a trip, I always have a copy of Latitude 38 on hand. The enclosed photos were taken recently in the Maltese Islands, in the ancient port cities of Valletta, on the island of Malta, at the famous 'Barbary Coast', and Mgarr harbor on neighboring Gozo island."
