Wordless Wednesday: Day of the Dead in Los Angeles

Just a few words on this Wordless Wednesday, I know, I’m such a rebel. Below are some pictures I took while working the Hollywood Forever Day of the Dead Festival in Los Angeles this past weekend. This event is truly amazing and one of the most colorful events I have ever attended. Check out Chocolate Abuelita and NESCAFE Café de Olla’s altar, the largest one in Los Angeles. Just FYI, I helped place some of those little marigolds, yes I feel very proud of that.

I know words in this post defeat the purpose of the title, but I just want to say that working in this city, I can’t begin to imagine what people must have gone through that horrible September 11th. Regardless of political status and ideology preferences, my heart goes to the families that lost their loved ones on this day, 12 years ago.
