DeciPizzap

Just a small island off the tip of Italy, Sardinia, is surprisingly charming. I’ve been a few times, and it has never disappointed me. In fact it’s high time I head back. You might think the only thing to do there is go to the beach, and although they do have some fabulous beaches, [...]

In honor of my daughter’s birthday, this is a photo of everyone drinking sugar cane juice. In true fashion, the glasses were cracked and chipped. As you can see, it was winter. If it had been summer, I think it would have been much more refreshing.

Being near the ocean gives one the chance to experience the freshest seafood. That’s exactly what I’m doing. This lady was cooking up fresh squid and scallops right out to Pacific. She had a little stand right on the beach, and you didn’t have to go anywhere to enjoy the food. If you haven’t [...]

Vietnam is a fascinating country, and everywhere you look there is something new and exotic…and different. Well, this lady could be found in any country in the world. After a hard few hours of shopping, she needed a rest. Problem: What does she do with her veggies? Hang ‘em on a toe. I love [...]

The small towns in any country is where it’s at.  I took this photo of a lady selling bread on the street.  The sun was starting to set, yet she had plenty left to sell.  It was hard to see whether or not she was having a good day.

Jim and I spent a wonderful week with some great friends in France eating.  Well, we drove a little, took a few photos, but really all we did was eat and drink.  We spent a lot of time going and looking for food and wine, at everything from barns, houses, supermarkets, outdoor [...]
