  • Festival, Fear and a Little Fun

    Well, here we go. The weather has cooled off a bit in New Orleans. That means a couple of things. Tourists arrive in droves. And, the festival season starts. Oh yeah. Halloween gets thrown in there too. From about now until late November, there are more festivals on any given weekend than some places have…

  • And, On The Fourth of July

    I’m not really a big fireworks kind of guy. So, while I was thinking about what to post today, I came up with the idea of a collection of Americana pictures. So here we go.

  • Just Gimme A Little Street Music

    For those of you who have read this blog for any length of time, you know that I’m a big fan of street food. I especially like it in Asin countries where food courts are built around existing outdoor vendors. In the same vein, I also like street music. Today, in New Orleans, French Quarter…

  • Lavender

    There’s a bunch of Lavender just as I promised. Ha, Ha Ha. These local and regional festivals can get very crowded. According to the local newspaper, The Lavender Festival had at least 10,000 people attending each day. That may not sound like a lot, but after seeing how small these places are, I realized that’s…

  • Lavender

    New Mexico’s summer weather apparently is very similar to the weather in southern France… hot, dry and some rain showers in the form of monsoons. So, like southern France, a lot of Lavender is grown here, especially near the banks of the Rio Grande. In fact, the village of Rancho de Albuquerque holds a Lavender…
