MALTA & GOZO 2005

     

"Popeye Village" Malta has grown from 
its days as a Film Set of the 1980 
Musical Production 'Popeye' into one of the 
major tourist attractions in Malta. 
When I was there it was to witness 
Robert Shield working at glass-blowing, 
a trade he now carries on in Las Vegas.
