Fifty! Feels like a milestone reached. Roughly, though not quite, a quarter of the way through the list of countries in the world. We’re back in the Caribbean, and headed to two in a row countries that are often confused by probably a huge number of people who don’t happen to live in the area.… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #50 – Dominica
Ever onward! We’ve headed back to Africa and a country that when I was a kid was a French territory called French Somaliland, and then later in my late teens, briefly, the tongue tangling “French Territory of the Afars and the Issas”. I have to admit, I don’t recall ever hearing it called that, but… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #49 – Djibouti
We’re off to Scandinavia in this edition of The Bread & Soup Project. This is our first venture into those northern climes, and the northernmost country we’ve approached so far (well, Canada goes further north, but also further south), and is the southernmost of the Scandinavian countries, also being the only one of those physically… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #48 – Denmark
We’re finally into the Ds! I guess this could have been one of the Cs, since there are two Congos, the Republic of the Congo and this one, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, but I listed them in my little spreadsheet under their full names, so it’s just how it worked out. This one… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #47 – Dem. Rep. of the Congo
We’re off to Cyprus this time around, an island nation in the Mediterranean off the southern coast of Turkey and western coast of Syria. With a human presence that stretches back 12 millenia, it is the third largest and third most populous island in the Mediterranean. At around 3600 square miles it’s midway in size… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #45 – Cyprus
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. Formerly known as Bohemia, and, of course, combined with its neighbor of Slovakia, it was… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #46 – Czechia
We are back in the Caribbean once again, as we continue down the merry path of The Bread & Soup Project. This time, we are in Cuba, the island nation we have probably heard about in political rhetoric more than any other country that isn’t a world power. Located a mere 90 miles from the southern… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #44 – Cuba
When I was born, slightly over six decades ago, there was this moderately large country just east of Italy called Yugoslavia. I didn’t know it at the time, as such things were not among my daily concerns, but it was a cobbled together post-WWI country that merged regions that had been considered Croat, Serb, and… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #43 – Croatia
