Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi

السلام عليكم (Hello/ Peace be upon you ) from Abu Dhabi! On the 6th day of our trip, we departed from Dubai to Abu Dhabi. On our way to our new hotel, we stopped by one of the largest mosques in the world, Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. One of the many things I learned over the past few days in Dubai is that UAE is considered as the "Center of the World." That is why this country is very rich in different cultures. So, it made sense when Lourdes, our tour guide, told us that Sheikh Zayed invited the best talents, materials, and techniques from all over the world to build his Grand Mosque. In fact, his slogan for this construction was to “unite the world.” Unfortunately, Sheikh Zayed passed away before the construction was finished, but his body is buried next to this mosque. After a short walk under the tunnel from the entrance, we were welcomed by the beautiful white marble building. Sheikh Zayed used white as the main color as white symbolizes purity. You...

Holá Panamá! The Festival of Corpus Christi - Autumn Herndon

Hol á Panam á ! The Festival of Corpus Christi The festival of Corpus Christi only takes place once a year in Panama to celebrate the rich history of folklore and Catholicism in Panama. Corpus Christi is a Catholic celebration of God and Panamanian folkloric tradition.

Since then, Panama has become a symbol of cultural diffusion with a population of Panamanians coming from all over the world. One of the most historic and dazzling haunts in Panama City is Casco Viejo or Casco Antigua. The English translation is “Old Town.” I couldn’t miss the chance to pose in one of the many ruins in Casco Viejo! Casco Viejo is the only remains of original Panama City, which was burned to ruins by Welshman Sir He...

Spring 2020 blog contest: Deirdre Heavey (First-Place Winner)

I woke up on Friday, March 13, in sunny Barcelona, Spain, to a notification that the Spanish Prime Minister had declared a state of emergency. The country would be going into lockdown at midnight, meaning no one in Spain would be allowed to leave their homes for any nonessential reason. That morning, my housemates and I sat around the table on our balcony as we debated whether or not we should book flights back to our home countries. We cried and we laughed as we questioned how we were going to leave the beautifully blissful city of Barcelona. For the last time, we sat around the table and enjoyed the presence of people who we probably would never see again despite living under the same roof for months. Later that evening, my three best friends that I had met in Barcelona came over for dinner. We prepared dinner together, making use of the food I had stockpiled earlier in the week when I thought there was nothing that could make me leave Barcelona. We sat around the table on my b...
