“You should try that pizza place at the corner of…” “What place? There’s no pizzeria there.” “Of course there is, it’s been there for years.” I go, and I look, and there it is. A place I’ve walked past so many times that it’s impossible I couldn’t have noticed it. And yet, I never did.… Read More Pizza Anonymous
Going one out of order because one of the elements for the Cyprus entry requires about ten days of preparation, so it’s in process in the background, and I’m forging ahead with the last of the Cs, Czechia (since 2016), or the Czech Republic.

But, pizza! This place has been on my radar for… ever. It has to be at least five years,… Read More Pile o’Pizza

A relatively small country, coming in at 19,700 square miles, comfortably fitting inside of West Virginia, or if we’re… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #42 – Costa Rica
