14 August 2015 - Ramla and Ta'Pinu

Well we went to Ramla and stayed there all morning, swimming and digging a massive hole in the sand. I tried to build a sand castle too but the waves kept knocking it down . After a swim, I dried myself and was treated to an Oreo ice cream by my Aunty Vicki at the beach cafe.

We went home for lunch. Nanna cooked minestra, which is Maltese for minestrone, and is a soup with everything in it. We had a shower and rest. 

We visited Aunty Cathy and Uncle Tony. Uncle Tony went to work, and Aunty Cathy came with us to church. Church started at 8pm, and it was a special mass at Ta'Pinu shrine celebrating the Assumption of the holy Mary. My nanna took me inside the church and we said some prayers in the chapel. We had  an outdoor mass with hundreds of people, but we got a bit tired so left early, and we bought a takeaway pizza on the way home. It was already 10.30pm by then so I was really hungry, tired and hot.
