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.

McRoberts Strawberry Festival at Van, Kentucky

By Mara Hernandez-Capili

A strawberry festival is once again happening at the beautiful and luscious town of Van, Kentucky. It is the much awaited event pf the year as people from near and far gather at one place in Van to celebrate the "McRoberts Strawberry Festival". The Strawberry Festival will feature various fun parts for the whole family. There will be Arts & Crafts festival and a free lecture and lessons that focus on Strawberry and its uses.

Lessons will be given that cater to bring public awareness on the historical and cultural significance of this plump and delicious fruit. Strawberries are plentiful in this part of the country, given that Maine enjoys a cool weather that prompts the cultivation of ripe and succulent strawberries. Strawberries are mainly popularized through the popular song from the Beatles, "Strawberry Fields Forever".

In culinary, strawberries are best enjoyed when combined with chocolate and cheese. I am very fond of watching culinary films and the Disney film: Ratatouille is just one of my favorites. In here we can see Remy the rat chef who is so good at cooking. He was very happy at one moment in the film when he instantly discovered the divine flavor that can come off in combining strawberry and cheese. He says that there are fireworks in his head when he tastes these two ingredients together. I totally agree as I tasted the divine combination too before.

Chocolates are also more enjoyable if combined with strawberry. They are both sweet tasting and pleasurable to eat. Chocolates are likewise sweet tasting and they are both seen as romance food. Why? Perhaps because of the strawberries red color which connotes love or the heart? Or probably because of its shape which is also like a heart if to be viewed closely.

At the McRoberts Strawberry Festival at Van, Kentucky there is lots of strawberries to taste and lots of lessons to learn about its history and its origins. Never miss the Strawberry Festival and learn more about this delightful fruit.
