What is "Soul Food"
Soul Food is traditional African American cuisine that originated in the South in the United States. Today it has become a highly sought after cuisine. It consists of spicy ribs, collard greens, fried fish and chicken, freshly cooked corn bread, and a few side dishes like black eye peas, okra, or macaroni and cheese to mention a few.

I like the social work done by the group beyond the singing i.e. helping people with alcohol or drug problems

Our guide tried very hard to work with the awful weather. She spoke 2 languages which added to her challenges. I got a little tired of her telling the driver off. In addition, if there are guests with awful colds ? Covid, they should be asked to wear masks. Hoping I donāt get sick too
