Roaming in Valletta
A few days ago, I was roaming the alleys of Valletta, built by the Knights of St. John after the great siege of 1565. The baroque fortified city they created is their masterpiece.

It’s a cold night in Frankfurt. We are walking along silent streets where Christmas displays in the shop windows are providing a bit of light and comfort. As I walk by, I look up towards the facade of the house where Goethe was born in 1749.
