Fabulous Friday - Living in a culturally diverse area


One weekend this summer I went across the river to exotic Maryland, to the Gaylord National at National Harbor on my weekend walk.  National Harbor has a nice collection of shops and hotels.  And even a cassino.  There was a wedding party going on at the Gaylord National Hotel. What a wonderful colorful celebration of happiness.  Much of my life I lived in places where this would have been very out of place.  Even here it is not something you encounter every weekend, but cultural diversity exists here outside of the restaurant world.  

A reminder that we are all different in our own unique ways.  We are all seeking love and happiness.   A reminder that style extends beyond the suit and little black dress.

  1. Very nice. And so true. Thats what puzzles me some days. We all want almost the same things, and to be happy. Yet we can't get past differences and personal lifestyle decisions to get along, when we in most cases have much in common.

  5. Lovely post. I think I was very lucky in that my parents always taught us to be open to differences in people, whatever those differences might be, because, as Maddie said, we all just want to be happy.

  6. Cultural diversity, and the celebration of it, is the way of the future.

  7. What a beautiful event to witness. The world would be quite dull without cultural diversity.
