Episode 48: Malta

 Malta (officially the Republic of Malta) is located in the Mediterranean, about 50 miles south of Italy and 176 miles east of Tunisia. It is a small island nation of about 450,000 people with a booming tourism industry that serves as a primary force in the nation’s economy. Yet many Americans only know of Malta from the Maltese Falcon or perhaps a Maltese Cross.  We are also joined by a special guest, Maureen, who is here to talk to us about a country that I am guessing many of you have never considered visiting. Tonight, we hope to change your mind!  Maureen will share her love of the country with us. Maureen was born in Canada to Maltese parents who have since moved back to Malta. She visits as often as she can and knows a great deal about the culture, history, and natural wonders of this beautiful island.
