However for this one, I felt like I needed to put two. Coming from two different cultures, I feel like I should show both of them here. While this isn&#8217;t the best photo to display the other half of my culture, I feel like it&#8217;ll do the job. The place that is in this photo is a place I associate with the other culture I come from. The southern US culture that I have ties to I feel has a lot of connections to food(similarly to the Mexican culture that I also have ties to). I haven&#8217;t really gotten a good picture of any signature dishes from Louisiana, but I did get this photo of Cafe Du Monde. When I think of the south where part of my family is, I think of beignets and iced coffee. I also think of the sea food that usually gets eaten at the gatherings we have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>7\/25\/2025 Even though this photo doesn&#8217;t show my exact culture roots for the Mexican side of my family, I think it does a good enough job at showing that half of my culture.
