Thanks for the transport back in time and the simple thrill and connection found in pen pals. I'm inspired to pull out my tote box of archives and those precious letters from Japan and Sheboygan, Wisconsin of all places. Funny that your pal was from the Seychelles---an isle that many don't even know of (we went back in 2020---look up La Digue, it's so fictional looking with it's otherworldly rock formations).

This was a great post--nostalgia, spag Bol with a new fork twist and book reviews! Thank you---if we lived there not here (Canada), I'd be saddling up to your supper club for sure!

Maybe we should exchange addresses and revive the pen pal years! I love that Claudia traveled with Barilla spaghetti noodles!
