a little more NOLA

One more New Orleans post is live! There's even a recipe included this time. It's clearly a must-see post. Hop on over while the hopping's good. ;-)

More from my July travels to New Orleans here!

domestic travels too

I didn't need my passport to go to New Orleans, but my work there over the weekend was not so different from my writing work abroad. I was there on a little media familiarization tour, along with five other writers and photographers. As in Africa and Haiti and London, I had too-few days to try to learn New Orleans, specifically its food culture, enough to write about it later. As in those other places, I discovered that the story is best learned by talking to a city's people.

I've posted some photos and bits of the story on my other blog: www.kamirice.blogspot.com. Today I'm writing up more of the New Orleans stories that I was hired to write. Eventually I'll post links to those stories.

meeting england

Just wanted to let you know I've been continuing my traveling ways in England the past couple weeks. Somehow it just didn't feel quite right to post an England post here on my Africa blog. This time, anyway. Instead, I decided to give the post to my other blog, the one that's been languishing away from lack of attention these past months. So, if you're interested in England or in spires or in how England and Africa are linked in my life, brew a nice cup of tea and go read along on my other blog. Cheers!
