LPPM MMV "The Girl Bohemian of the '40's"

[sims]

Saint Lucy is a rather popular saint here in Malta by the way.
Many houses/buildings in Valletta have a plaque near the front door
that has a an image of a favorite saint and also the name of the house.

Overlooking Saint Babara Bastions is one such house which has
a very nice ceramic Saint Lucy plaque. This particular spot has
perhaps the best view of the Three Cities from Valletta...it overlooks
all of Grand Harbour.
