pizza pizza

from napoli, italy, 2008.

for years, i've said if i ever get rich and have travel the requisite parts of the world i will start doing odd trips. little ceasars had a tv spot in the early 90s of a roman dressed in a toga saying "pizza pizza" and other double words. from goodfellas there is jimmy two times who said everything twice "i'm going to get the paper, get the paper."

i thought it would be novel to do go around the world going for double name cities -- walla walla, waga waga, baden baden, bora bora... it will probably never happen

i am prompted to think of this again hearing audio bite from the world's geo quiz about a person who traveled to all to all the four letter named countries -- there are 10 of them. he published a book and now is working on going to all the ten lettered countries.

i remember the day after palm sunday in sevilla taking a bus to carmona for processions there, i met a girl who was starting out a project doing an alphabet soup of europe. she would go from one city to the next by deciding what was an interesting city with the next letter. she was coming from Balzers (liechtenstein) to Cullera (spain) heading to Darque (portugal).

i am more random, i'm throwing darts trying to decide whether to go to chile, bolivia or delhi for labor day week.

now it's time for lunch. i'm thinking pizza.
