Marsa Racetrack

If you’re a horse lover or simply like to play the odds, then you’d be pleased to know that Malta also boasts a healthy horse-racing culture.  Every Sunday equine enthusiasts gather at the Marsa Racing Course to cheer on their favourite horse or put their money where their mouths are and place the occasional wager on the results.

The racecourse was founded in the 19th Century by British Military and Naval officers along with some of the local gentry.  By 1929, the Marsa Racing Course was seeing regular races taking place thanks to the importation of expertly trained racehorses from North Africa.  However this hit a snag when most of these same horses had to be slaughtered during the Second World War. 

Race meetings recommenced in December 1945 although when the British Armed Forces left the island, there was a sudden depletion of both horses as well as jockeys.  Rather than put a halt to their newfound hobby, the Marsa Racing Club substituted the traditional horseback races for the new sulky races which saw drivers racing ponies while sitting on a lightweight two-wheeled cart reminiscent of the Roman chariot races.

The racetrack was reconstructed in 1981 and a grandstand for 2000 spectators was included as well as bars and shops to accommodate them.  Apart from the local races, the Marsa Racing Course is also occasionally called upon to host international events such as the European Championship for Professional Drivers in 1998.

When visiting the Marsa Racing Course, you’re sure to succumb to the sheer enthusiasm that permeates the air.  As you loudly cheer on your favourite horse amidst a crowd of screaming onlookers, you’ll be sampling a pure taste of raw Mediterranean passion.

Bookmark Break Update

After a few days on the beach and a couple of long bus rides, my book list is finally getting longer! At my last update we were at 13 books.

Add to that:

With No One as a Witness - Elizabeth George **** (great Mystery read if you are looking for a new author. She often uses the same characters)

Whirl of the Wheel - Catherine Condie ***(free ebook from Amazon. Kind of a kid‘s book, but it was cute enough and it was definitely short and sweet)

Compromising Positions - Jenna Bayley-Burke ** (totally chick romance beach book)

Meridon - Phillippa Gregory *** (I had heard she did great Historical Fiction, but this one was a little strange, and not that historic in my opinion, but it was still a fun read)

New Moon - Stephany Meyer *** (I am getting tired of the main character. She seems like a melodramatic pain in the butt. I will probably read the rest of the series though)

So now we are up to 18! I am still way behind many of the others, but ahead of the average, so I am not doing too bad!

What I am currently reading:

The Girl Who Played With Fire - Steig Larsson

For more book info and fun and to see the entire list, you can go to my Bookshelf page!

What book are you reading? Is it any good? If it is, let me know -- I will read just about anything! Also, if you want to join in on the Bookmark Challenge, it’s not too late. All you need is a list of whatever books you have read in 2011.

Note: This is day two of the A - Z blogfest. B is for Bookmark.

For the Whitest Sands and the Bluest Ocean Waters Head For Esperance in Western Australia

Visitors to Australia that are seeking the whitest sand, the bluest waters and the friendliest locals take heed: Esperance, Western Australia is where you need to be headed! Located on the southern coast of Western Australia, along the Great Southern Ocean and approximately a nine-hour-drive from the territorial capital of Perth, Esperance is the dream destination that visitors to this area of Australia simply can't afford to miss out on.

The main attraction of Esperance is its sheer, spell-binding natural beauty. In a town with less than 10,000 inhabitants it is rather difficult to expect much in the way of cosmopolitan pampering, so don't come down to Esperance in search of such vanities. The perfect example of the surrounding natural beauty is to be found at Cape Le Grand National Park, which lies just to the east of town and offers pristine beaches and untouched natural landscapes. Another nearby natural wonder to be enjoyed while in Esperance would be Pink Lake, one of many salt lakes in the area that is unique due to the red algae that inhabit its waters.

Esperance's climate is largely Mediterranean in nature, with warm and relatively dry summer months followed by chilly and damp winter months. During the summer months, a particularly intimidating natural phenomenon creates the Cyclops wave each year which attracts diehard surfers from around the planet, making Esperance buzz with action and new faces. The particularly thick and heavy wave is considered to provide one of the most thrilling (and dangerous, to be clear) surf rides on the planet.

An interesting little titbit about Esperance is the fact that in 1979 it was showered with debris from the recently-disintegrated Skylab, NASA's first space station. No major injuries or damages were incurred, though the Shire of Esperance did fine the US $400 for littering-a sum which was paid up in full only in 2009 by a US radio station, supposedly on NASA's behalf.

As far as Esperance accommodation options are concerned, visitors will find that no matter what their needs are-anything from executive suites to caravan parks and economy hostels-they will find a suitable place to stay. A few well-known possibilities include the Esperance Island View Apartments, the Hospitality Inn Esperance, and the Jetty Resort and Apartments.

The Jesuit Block in the City of Córdoba

The Jesuit Block in the City of Córdoba includes the Church of the Compañía de Jesús, the Domestic Chapel, the Jesuits Residence and the Principal’s Office of the National University of Córdoba –former Compañía de Jesús High School— with its own administrative buildings, the Cloisters, the Conferring Room, the Library and the Monserrat National High School.


In 1599 the Jesuits settled in Córdoba, in the plot of land provided by the local City Hall, where there had been a small chapel since 1589 that soon became too small to accommodate priests, students and faithful locals. This is why the building work began in 1606, which later on would become the present Jesuit Block. Successively, more buildings were built for the High School (1610), the University (1622), the Royal School of Our Lady of Montserrat (which was founded in 1687 but set up in its present site in 1782, after the expulsion of the Compañía), and also the Novitiate (towards 1710). The Church and the Domestic Chapel were built from 1644 to 1671. The old chapel, one of the oldest ecclesiastical buildings preserved in Argentina, constitutes the Domestic Chapel Sacristy.


The Jesuit estancias (large cattle ranches) in Córdoba are a singular sample of the productive organization of the religious members of Compañía de Jesús in the country, and this is still shown in a carefully preserved architecture. Though history demonstrated that the farms were acquired for economic purposes in order to support schools and universities, the estancias were of course used “for missionary purposes, thus turning into religious centers.”

Crossbody Bag Round-Up

I am head over heels for the crossbody bag.  I recently was gifted one by my generous husband on Valentine's Day.  This classic staple is what I have long considered the quintessential travel bag, as it allows you to enjoy both form and function.  A larger crossbody can house all of your essentials and can dissuade  errant pickpockets from honing in on you as an easy target.  Orient the bag close to the front of your body with a firm hand, and that pickpocket won't even give you a second look.  To take it from day to night, remove the strap and use at as a clutch.  These versatile bags can be enjoyed both at home or wherever your travels may take you!

1. Rebecca Minkoff 5-Zip Clutch $330

2. Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Natasha $348

3. Topshop Leather Tassel Cross Body Bag $70

4. Kate Spade Gold Coast Robin $295

5. Chloe Lily Metallic Leather Bag $530

6. Forever 21 Classic Leatherette Bag $29.80

A Day In Busan

Being in Korea is so different from being in many of the other Asian countries. For example, and most importantly, there is toilet paper in the public restrooms. And there ARE public restrooms! Wow! In fact, I know I talk a lot about toilets but Korea has had THE BEST toilets in all of my travels so far. They have things to wash you, front and back, heated toilet seats, rear end dryers AND automatic toilet seat lifters (for both up and down, one seat or two. This would make a great present for many of our male significant others, I think!)

Super Fun Toilet

Also, everything is more expensive. Aside from Singapore, Korea is the most expensive Asian country we have been in so far. However, having said that, things ARE run very efficiently here! The bus is fast and comfortable and there are no goats or chickens on board with me!

The third and most difficult thing is that they really don’t speak English. As always, hand gestures and facial cues really can get  you far, but sometimes you feel like you are missing out or doing things the hard way since you can’t always ask directions.

Yesterday we traveled by aforementioned bus from Seoul to Busan. Busan is in the very south of the country, and Seoul is in the very north. However, South Korea is not so big, and the ride only took about 4 hours. Busan is a very heavily trafficked fishing port, and I have to admit, I heard it was a fishing village and I pictured a tiny town with stone houses, cobblestone streets, little boats and wrinkled old Korean fishermen wearing cute hats. I was wrong. It is a HUGE port, with big harbor full of freighters. Also, apparently many Russian and Filipino sailors, as we found out last night when we took a walk and found both Russian Karaoke Bar and a Filipino Karaoke Bar.

Today we went to the fish market. There were all kinds of fish, octopus, squid, crabs and more! It was packed with stalls full of frozen, dried, fresh and LIVE animals and was a sight to behold. I saw an octopus escape it’s bucket and get away and when I pointed it out to the lady, she just laughed.

Octopus!

Another great highlight of the day was that we found a new shellfish. I don’t know the name but it is the strangest looking thing. It is red with little bumps -- it almost looks like a tuber. I can’t explain it. We were sitting near a vendor, watching him shuck them, and he let us try one, straight from the shell, raw and salty. And it was good! Then he gave us a shot each of Souju (Korean spirit) and even let us take a photo with him. We offered him some money but he just laughed at us and sent us on our way.

strange new shellfish

So, all in all, a great day in Busan! Hopefully tomorrow we will find even more new things to see and meet many different people who we can’t talk to but with who we still can find a common ground!

Have you ever had to use finger pointing and grunting to get what you wanted in a foreign country (or maybe even your own?)

NOTE: Today kicks off the first day of the A - Z Blogfest. You can read more about it in the link, but the basics are that we have to blog every day in April except Sundays, which will make 26 days. This is the same amount as letters in the alphabet and so each blog (in order) will have a letter theme.

Today is Day 1. A is for A Day.
