Comment on Traveler mindset by Maude

Over time and distance, I’ve learned
I’m not truly a traveler.
In fact, I’m quite the homebody.
Instead, I enjoy hosting the traveler.

I love presenting my hometown,
breaking bread with strangers,
hearing their stories,
and telling them mine.

I love meeting people who,
had they not requested a temporary home,
I might never have chosen to befriend on my own,
Due to my assumptions or daily routine.

Good thinking, Milton. And even better writing. I was thinking of this Swedish guy – I don’t remember his name… he started off biking to find the meaning of life. He crossed Africa from North to South (or vice versa), Australia, New Zealand, and Cape Horn to Alaska. Then he found the meaning of life, and wrote his book about it. Surprisingly, the meaning of life, according to him, is biking

(P.S. – an important clarification here: we are talking about REAL biking, with pedals, not with an engine )

Comment on Where to go in New Orleans by J.D. Poole

Good call on Jacques Imo’s…it’s in my old neighborhood. I wish Eden had told me you were going, I’d have suggested a couple more places in Uptown. Next time, or when friends go tell them about Frankie and Johnny’s, a very local and cheap cafe just off Tchoupitoulas, Reginelli’s Pizza on Magazine and State, and Big Fisherman, across the street from The Bulldog on Magazine…you go to Big Fisherman, buy your boiled crawfish and walk across the street to Bulldog to eat them outside and have a cold one with friends, an incredible combo. And bars, either Monkey Hill or Grit’s. Great city with even better people…
