Frank Pepe tastic

I had some great skype sessions this morning, back in SA everyone is settling in for the cool winter night air, munching on dinner or waiting for some evening comedy show on Mnet. How great is technology, honestly, keeping in touch has never been easier. It holds massive power, bringing people closer together yet also having the ability to rip people apart. I was amusingly frustrated today seeing Dexter (our 2 or so month old Jack Russel pup) and not being able to feel his soft warm body squirming through my hands as he comes at you with crocodile teeth ready to catch any part of your clothing or limb for that matter. I miss that little guy profusely. A proud big sister writes this as I learn I have the next Lance Armstrong for a brother. He's cycling those 10 kilometres like they're candy in a box.

My family is fantastic, they are a true example of how money does not buy happiness; warmth, generosity and kindness does. I keep getting treated to amazing places and of course, being fed. I have seen more food, purely due to portion size, in the last 8 days then I have in the last 6 months. I was fortunate enough to stuff my face with Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana pizza of a tomatoe based pie with mozzarella and salami. Pepe was founded in 1925 by Frank Pepe, an Italian immigrant who immigrated to New Haven, Connecticut, known today as the best pizza in the USA. Crunchy crusts, fresh herbs, salami sensation, tomatoes so juicy, nothing was shy, yet the thin base was perfectly oven baked in the original fire masonry with original 3 metre long pizza peels. I am pickled with a smile deliciously spread across my face.
