Ten years after surviving the atomic bomb being dropped on her city, Sadako Sasaki died at the age of twelve from leukemia, a common disease caused by nuclear radiation. During her illness she worked to fold over 1,000 origami cranes, hoping this would bring her a wish for good health. She did not survive, but her legacy of folding cranes has. Now children from all over the world come to the monument inspired by Sadako to deliver or send paper cranes to the memorial as a prayer for world peace and the end to nuclear weapons.https://kristarossow.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/15-krista-rossow-japan-hiroshima-genbaku-dome.jpgHiroshima PrefectureThe Genbaku Dome at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial is the only structure left standing near the hypocenter of the first atomic bomb which exploded on August 6th, 1945.

Here we swam into a cave at Buccaneer Cove on Santiago Island and found a large school of fish. During the snorkels we swam with not only fish, but sea turtles, sea lions, penguins, and cormorants.https://kristarossow.blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/galapagos-sea-lion-beach.jpgPunta Pitt, San Cristobal Island, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador.Sea lions, like this one at Punta Pitt, are as curious about us as we are about them. https://kristarossow.blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/galapagos-red-footed-booby.jpgGenovesa Island.Everyone hears about the blue-footed booby, but my personal favorite of the boobies is the red-footed booby.

My merry band arrived at the bar to have an early morning drink with Miss Antoinette before the day got into full swing, only to be greeted with the sad news of her passing. At the time I didn't quite understand the significant of Antoinette K-Doe, the widow of Ernie K-Doe, the lounge's namesake who still lived on at the lounge as a life-size, dressed-to-the-nines mannequin in the lounge. As we left the lounge in a somber mood it became clear what a presence Miss Antoinette was in the city as the local radio station, WWOZ, broadcast the news of her passing. I can't say that I ever met her, but I won't ever forget that morning. https://kristarossow.blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/kr9_1623.jpgYou Next!Men dressed as Skeletons take a break at the Backstreet Cultural Museum in the Treme neighborhood on Mardi Gras day in 2009. Early on Mardi Gras morning we'd pile into our friend Kristian's suburban and troll the streets looking for the Skeletons in action, making a racket and bringing the city to life, threatening, "You next!"https://kristarossow.blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/kr9_1004.jpgMake Way for BacchusaurusPolicemen keep the crowds off of the parade route to make way for the Bacchusaurus float from the Krewe of Bacchus during their annual meander through Uptown. Streets become littered with uncaught beads and empty plastic sacks that once held precious clutches. At these parades you could almost stand still on the sidelines and still get covered in beads without much effort at all. Showing skin is certainly taboo during these family affairs. Children sit in makeshift benches affixed to the tops of ladders that families roll down to the parade route to establish a good spot to be able to collect beads. "Throw me something, mister!" is the call. https://kristarossow.blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/k11_1349.jpgPussyfootersThe Pussyfooters is a marching club of bubble-gum bedecked ladies who dance and perform in multiple parades during Mardi Gras season. I don't know how they do it, but I do know there is a port-a-potty involved and it looks like oodles of fun. https://kristarossow.blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/kr9_1926.jpgParade of the Secret Societé de Sainte AnneMusic and Mardi Gras go hand in hand, so marching with the band is the best way to experience the St. Anne's parade on Fat Tuesday. Starting from the Bywater neighborhood, bedazzled, costumed throngs dance to the beat as the parade meanders into the Marigny.
