Charleston en dos días

Charleston es encantador, a la vista, es como un dulce Frances…simplemente hermoso.  También rico en historia, es una bello lugar para visitar si solo tienes dis días.  Se come de maravilla,  claro, comida y mas comida.  Aquí les dejo con mis fotos de la visita y listado de lugares de interés que visite y recomiendo.  Hay muhos mas sitios que visitar, pero como nuestra visita fue en tiempo navideño, algunos museos y comercios estaban cerrados.  Aun así, con solo pasear enn las calles y visitar las iglesias de esta “Holly City” no tiene precio.

Donde ir...

The Bar -Husk Restaurant…solo dire dos cosas, Jamón ahumado y Bourbon. 

Restaurant Magnolias - Southern Food

Jenis Ice cream - Soy fanatics de Jeni desde hace mucho tiempo, como chef y empresaria, ir a una de sus tiendas de mantecado, fue un sueño.

Poogans Porch - Encantandor y delicioso!!!

City Market - Mercado donde encontraras comida, artesanos, arte, musica y mucho más. 

Art Mecca - Galeria con arte local a muy buenos precios.

Water front Park - Necesario ir a este parque, sentarte en un columpio de madera y escuchar los músicos que tocan gratuitamente. 

Carriage Tour - No soy fanatic de usar carruajes por el maltrato a los caballos, pero esta compañía es muy responsable al trato de sus animales.  Su recorrido histórico por la ciudad me encantó, muy informativo y pintoresco.

Noddy - Pequeña tienda llena de curiosidades locales.

Rainbow Row - La linea de casas mas fotografiadas de Charleston, tienen una historia bien curiosa.

Photographer Crush: Mattia Passarini

Today’s Photographer Crush belongs to Mattia Passarini, he focused in photographing the remote corners of the globe and the cultures that inhabit them.  His passion in capturing disappearing cultures, ancient rituals, and everyday life leads him to travel to the most neglected countryside areas. In recent years he focused his research on their varieties, locations, habits and especially on their visible distinguishing features, which they express through face tattoo and body modifications.  Mattia was the Third place winner in the People category  in the National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year Contest 2016, for a photo called "Remote Life at -21 Degree”, depicting an elderly woman carrying a big log back home to warm up her house in a remote village in Himachal Pradesh, India.

When I was a little girl, my father was subscribed to National Geographic, it was one of my first introduction to diversity and culture outside my bubble in the island of Puerto Rico.  Growing up, imagining people living in a very different world from mine, fed my wanderlust.  Today, looking and admiring photographers as Mattia Passarini, take me through a journey in remote places that I didn't’t know existed.  

I will always be thankful for my father, and for him having a subscription of National Geographic, which taught me the wonders of the world and that we are not alone, there is diversity, different cultures, religions, ethnicities, things that makes us unique...but at the end, we are all humans with the same home, The World.

“"Diversity of cultures is the differences that exist between factors around the world. There are traditions and cultures that have survived for thousand of years and now, in just one generation everything can disappear. I feel lucky to be one of the people that can still see and experience these diversity”." -Mattia Passarini

Hope you had a great weekend!
