New Orleans: Taking It Easy in The Big Easy
Blog: Travelogged - 8 April 2011
With its fabulous food, colorful architecture and joie de vivre attitude, New Orleans is one of America’s best cities to visit. While the population did not fully return after the devastating Hurricane Katrina and some of Downtown’s office buildings remain unoccupied, The Crescent City’s culinary and cultural scene is as rich as ever.

Cook Books Take You South and Southwest
Blog: A Traveler's Library - 16 July 2010
I like a cookbook that reads like a book–not an instruction manual. For a cookbook with personality, read The Sweet Life in Paris. When good writing accompanies recipes that make you want to start cooking NOW, you’ve got a winner. If you want to read a food blog with real personality, I recommend Peggy Bourjaily’s [...]This content is a post from: A Traveler's Library To comment on this post or search for related information, click on the link to A Traveler's Library

It’s a place that has often been a crossroads for musical travelers, and at the same time it’s a place with a deep connection to home and tradition.

Why you should go to the Gulf Coast
Blog: Lonely Planet blog - 28 June 2010
I returned from my research trip to the Florida Gulf Coast a week ago, and walking its gorgeous white-sand beaches (and splashing in the blue water offshore) felt like something of a farewell to me, as I said in this video shot in Panama City Beach: Turns out, oil has splashed ashore some of these beaches [...]

Blog: one more left and i'll be on the right side - 30 April 2009
This shot was taken on Mardi Gras Day 2009 in NOLA. The flag is mounted on a Royal St hotel and the bubbles in the background spewed from a machine all day long. The Star Spangled Banner can be seen everywhere in the USA. Driving down a highway you reguarly see huge mastheads that carry the [...]
