I have traveled the world through festivals and the cultural heritage of my Zumba Gold® students and their co-workers.
Remember from early e-newsletters when I shared about a fun afternoon at St. Spyridon Greek Orthodox Church annual Greek Festival in San Diego? Then a few months later came an evening of Filipino culture and food at Scripps Ranch St. Gregory the Great Catholic Church.
Yesterday Zumba friend Nancy M. and I drove to El Cajon for the St. Ephrem Maronite Catholic Church 13th Annual Lebanese Festival. Once again I heartily over-ate (it’s okay once or twice a year) of ethnic foods and clapped and stomped my feet to Folkloric Dance Performances from toddlers through adults.
Then a quiet Memorial Day thought came to me…“If the world shared more of our festivals, food and dance with each other, might we then one day not have to mourn on the final Monday in May? WF!
