AmericanPressTravelNews-November 8th, Wilmington, DE.–Bob and Barb “On The Road Again” and “Stopping to Smell the Roses” in Beautiful Wilmington, DE.-As we travel all across America, xthere are a few stand-out locations that are full of great amenities and very special cultural adventures for travelers and locals alike. Wilmington is very high on this list. So many great museums, so many fine restaurants and accommodations, such as the one we are enjoying right now-the DoubleTree by Hilton. When we arrived yesterday, we dropped off our bags and headed for DuPont Environmental Education Center (check them out on all social sites Delaware Nature : delanature.org/DEEC) a marsh and tidal paradise right under a major bird flyway.

AmericanPressTravelNews.com-Cookville, TN. Oct. 29th,-Bob and Barb, yes, we are on the road again. This time we are heading for the Cumberland Plateau 15th Annual American Indian Pow Wow in Cookville, TN.
Left to right_ Spider Woman, Spirit Hawk Bob and Awano, our new friends at the Pow Wow.
We love American Indian programs and culture. It’s the “real” America in so many ways. Hand made knives, buckskin clothes, earth colors.
Lots of foods from Indigenous American Indian booths, all kinds of crafts, dances and music with plenty of drum-beats. Well, we weren’t disappointed. The host drum was by Southern Echo and the Emcee was Bert (Iron Turtle) Cox. There was flute playing, a childrens candy rush to the beat of the drums, intertribal dances, Sisters American Indians food, story telling, and lots of teaching and showing the cultures in their art and crafts. Veterans and all service members in both home and military, firefighters (I am a retired 18-years Firefighter, so I was included in the circle of honor dancing) Law Enforcement, EMT’s, and teachers. A local non-profit Indigenous Intertribal Corp. hosted the Pow Wow. Barb and I had a very fine time and were honored to be amongst America’s first peoples in history.
drumming up the spirits both old and new!Dances were a great part of the Pow Wow. They signified the relationship to earth, sky and all things in nature.Natural selection!Veterans of Vietnam War pray and remember their brothers! Lots of introspection was on display and in the spirit air.
