This year, I missed Mother's Day. My mother has a travel blog called Eden's Wanderings and Wonderings. So being inspired by my mother, I am writing this entry about my travels over Mother's Day. I usually spend Mother's day weekend with my mom wandering around the Stanford University PowWow, eating fry bread tacos and watching Native American dancers like this one.
But this year I spent my Mother's Day weekend wandering the streets of New Orleans and checking out a different type of heritage festival, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. The festival creates a very relaxed atmosphere for people to just kick back and enjoy the music.
The festivities spill out into the streets with musicians performing around the french quarter and events around town.
For me, the trip was all about the food and the music. While taking it all in I couldn't help but wonder what makes New Orleans the magical place that it is so rich in culture and diversity. There's something in the details of the design and the preservation and valuing of the culture that makes this place so special.
a place that brings together people of all different ages and races. There's a unique passion for art, music, food, architecture and culture. There is something about this place and you can't help but wonder how to make sure that is protected and how that harmony can be brought to other places.
