I admit...I am a bona fide tea snob. Which is yet another reason to love India. They serve proper tea, and so many varieties. Tibetan tea, masala chai and even simple black tea. With hot milk along with jaggery at the table, of course. #TeaSnob #India

Greetings to you from beautiful Dharamshala. Today's experience seeing and doing kora around His Holiness' temple was so moving. May all beings benefit.

Mandela the Storyteller is always around Congo Square in #NOLA. New Orleans history is like no other place in the world. ❤️

Pema Chöga@mariecari· Feb 27

In the best freaking city in the United States. Period. #NOLA

Congo square is in the vicinity of a spot which homeless Indians used before the arrival of the French for celebrating their annual corn harvest and was considered sacred ground. The gathering of enslaved African vendors in Congo square originated as early as the late 1740s during Louisiana's French colonial period and continue during the Spanish colonial era as one of the city's public markets. By 1803 Congo square had become famous for the gatherings of enslaved Africans who drummed dance, sang and traded on Sunday afternoons. By 1819, these gatherings numbered as many as 500 to 600 people among the most famous dances were the bambula the kalinda and the Congo. These African cultural expressions gradually developed into Mardi gras Indian traditions, the second line and eventually New Orleans, jazz and rhythm and blues.

In Florida, the highway patrol works in tandem with ICE. The Maya Guatemalan Center in Lake Worth Florida put these 200 signs up today and they aren't nearly enough. #evil
