Key West's African cultural heritage is represented by the vibrant Bahama Village neighborhood, founded in the early 1800s by Africans migrating from the Bahamas, and in historic churches, indigenous food and annual festivals.
Among Key West's most significant African cultural sites is the 1860 African Burial Ground, located on the island's Atlantic Ocean shore beside a Civil War-era fort. It is believed by experts to be America's only African refugee cemetery.

These days, "the Bight" is a popular place to arrange a day on the water, whether you are a diver, snorkeler, fisherman or eco-tourist. Others come just to stroll along the harbor walk or dine at one of the many restaurants.

IRUYA, BETWEEN THE SKY AND THE MOUNTAINS
...............................................................................
During the 17th and 18th centuries, Iruya was a little parcel within the two million hectares owned by the marquis of Tojo.
.
In the northern end of Salta, as if it were giving its back to the province, isolated by mountain chains and protected by long, narrow and winding roads, like a gem set on the rock, rises Iruya, a mountain town with an elusive beauty.
Travelers who discover IRUYA are overwhelmed by its beauty and silence
During the 17th and 18th centuries, Iruya was a little parcel within the two million hectares owned by the marquis of Tojo.
Located 2713 meters above sea level, it now has the appearance of a fortified city. Men have placed rocks where nature failed to do so. The streets' paving constitutes a shell that protects them from rains.

ASPEN, IN ROCKY MOUNTAINS
..............................................................................
After traveling to Aspen in the fall, I was taken by the laid back lifestyle and the incredible fall colors.
The area is tourist friendly if not a bit too touristy but a lovely haven for relaxation.

I spent a fun long weekend with my sister and enjoyed the St. Regis and the numerous coffee shops. The food options are health conscious and varied. I would defintely recommend Aspen!
