I already know that today is going to be a busy day. That's what happens at the end of a week after a holiday. Everything that you didn't manage to do during the two previous weeks becomes mandatory today. Friday. Of course what makes this okay is that you have dreams of the weekend propelling you through your work.<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29050866@N06/6935919945/" title="Me in front of the ocean  by karolinka.sofia, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7192/6935919945_ea0c73ce14_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt="Me in front of the ocean "></a>

So this morning before school, as I drink coffee and eat a bowl of yogurt, I find myself thinking about Malta. It was such a wonderful trip and now that I'm back in Sofia and the weather is freezing cold and it's snowed two days this week, Malta is beginning to seem like a dream.

Last weekend, I knew that I was going to an island country but I wasn't really prepared for how much water I'd see. How close I'd be to the ocean and how many boats in all shapes and sizes dot the sea-scape.

Visually it's a wonderful experience. The kind of experience that makes you want to drop everything and learn how to sail so that you can live a life of sailing, sea food eating and leisure. Needless to say, this didn't happen and I am back in Sofia getting ready to teach a full day but it's nice to have dreams.<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29050866@N06/6792893282/" title="IMG_3502 by karolinka.sofia, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7053/6792893282_de675ea83a_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt="IMG_3502"></a>
