I went with my fencing school last year. It was very intense and weird for me and it's not like being in Europe. We were in the part closest to Africa and to Malta (where my family is from before they got to Sicily). We went to a lot of D-lsit cities you'd never go to as a normal tourist because they were random blips on the map. People stared at us in restaurants and cafes on Saturday nights and eventually I figured out it was because I was often the only woman in the room. On the other hand, I look like people there, and the countryside is beautiful. Really bizarre country. We found human remains in a Baroque church on top of a cliff that had been abandoned because the gov't couldn't pay for upkeep so it was covered in graffiti and filled with birds. It was a really intense, fucked up trip.
