My niece's U.S. high school graduate son has just moved to France,

to start the process of joining the guild to learn metal work like his dad.

His father does 'wrought iron work.' I haven't seen any of his work, but it appears useful and remunerative.

Do WE have any such traditions, join a guild to learn and follow in parent's footsteps? Maybe, I guess: I did attend law school, following Dad's and uncles' and cousin's footsteps!

I enjoyed our trips to New Orleans to take pictures for inspiration

my wife and I spent our honeymoon.

Maybe not a romantic as Hawaii or Fiji or something, but if you like art, great food, jazz, and a good time, hard to beat New Orleans.
