Building An Authoritative Travel Blog

Authoritative blogs seem all the rage at the moment but what exactly is an " Authoritative Travel Blog ?" Well my understanding of the matter is it is a blog that is not only very informative to the readers but that the information comes from authoritative type people in connection with what they are writing about.

Hopefully my articles below will give an insight on travel and travel related experiences from all over the world from many authoritative writers as they have been there and done that.

Articles will be and are published often and this means current travel experiences and up to date places to visit. If you have also visited these places or wish to comment then please do so remembering this blog is intended to family orientated visitors so please be respectful.

I have seen many fears raised through my article site and feel that any traveller today that, for one reason or another, decides against travel insurance then they are possibly being a little short sighted. We do not want our boats to sink but are happy to carry life rafts. travel insurance is a similar idea. We do not wish to ever claim on it but if things go wrong as they sometimes do it is a benifit to have the insurance.

New Mexico Architecture as Backdrop to Craft Fairs

By Mercie Hallow

Fairs and Festivals are fun gatherings where family members can enjoy each other's presence and bond with each other. It is an event for shopping and bargaining for intricate and unique finds and also a time for savoring mouth watering treats from food concessionaires. Festivals are also the perfect place to showcase a persons crafting talent and at the same time earn money by selling it to eager hand made buyers. Festivals are also venues to display great performances by the locals talented artists, to further enrich the experience.

Festivals heighten a locations surroundings and make people see the beauty and history of the place in a different level. It could be done so by placing the fair in front or beside an interesting building or edifice that accents the event as a backdrop. That is the reason why some flea markets are situated near or in front of an interesting edifice, to further enrich the whole experience.

The fairs and festivals in New Mexico is one classic example. New Mexico is a state brimming with rich history and timeless, preserved Architecture to go with it. Many buildings in this state are well preserved by the locals that display a rich Spanish style heritage. This is quite understandable because almost 40% of New Mexico population consists of people with Hispanic origins.

The Architecture in New Mexico is as interesting as its history. The ancient people in New Mexico used to build their houses underground. They do so by digging about a foot to 6 feet deep from the earth and after placing the right amount of foundations to secure the space; they place a roof/entrance in line with the ground. They call this dwelling Anasazi . Over the years they learned to build houses from the ground made of natural earth materials such as stone or clay while keeping the Anasazis for its new function as a worship or entertaining chamber.

I invite you to spend the time to see the fairs in New Mexico and delight with the rich Architecture the state possess.
