voodoo museum / new orleans
For 5 bucks you get into the small exhibition spaces of the new orleans voodoo museum. Hopefully voodoo helps against pneumoconiosis as well, because the cleaner of the museum is indisposed since decades. It looks like a shabby german ghost train, except that us cents swell out of the skulls. Voodoo is one of the huge religions and it`s not just about to maltreat dolls with needles. As in any other religion it´s about stoking fears and earn money. ©n.g.
jean michel basquiat / new orleans
For those who do not make it to new orleans until the end of January 2015, here the special exhibition from the ogden museum about jean-michel basquiat. (that’s service, right?). Basquiat´s parents came from haiti and shortly before his untimely death in 1988 he was here in new orleans and had probably a special relationship to the south of the United States. © n.g.
apalachicola
We met John in Apalachicola. With his 50 year old “Beluga” he ancored at the quay of the small town and we had chosen the harbor as a good place to stay as well. John invited us spontaneously to come on board and on this evening he told us many things about his life. He lives on his boat since 31 years and is travelling in southern america and in the bahamas.
The next morning we invited him for breakfast and he returned the favor and sharpened our kitchen knives – a business he had learned from his father. It was an interesting encounter, one of those which makes our travel special …….. © ng
manatee spring
The manatees love it warm and so they come to spaces where they can warm up when the weather and thus the water gets colder. Although they look so chubby, they can not survive in cold water and therefor they seek the warm outspils of power plants or the springs. at manatee springs about 100 million gallons of water swells up each day and the water is constantly 68 fahrenheit, even in winter. An awesome boardwalk follows the mangroves to the nearby river suwannee, but the manatees stayed in the midle of the creek and therefore i couldn´t take pictures. But you can watch manatees here.
