tealinIt came as a bit of a surprise to me to realise I miss Dia de los Muertos – it certainly wasn't part of my upbringing and was only on the periphery of my life in LA, but the absence of it here in the UK just feels a little off.
Then I realised I never posted the photos I took at the Autry Museum's fiesta in 2010. If it's still on this year, and you're in LA, do go, it's excellent.
See the Album Here
Probably, I don't know how Google Plus's album options work; if you can't see it let me know.
... Well, I say there's no Dia de los Muertos in the UK; the funny thing is, Mexican restaurants have become very hip recently and it seems half of them are themed after this holiday, which is a bit weird to walk into in August. Oddly enough, Wahaca, a chain ostensibly named after Oaxaca, the province most famous for its Dia de los Muertos traditions, is not decorated so. Go figure!
Looking forward to seeing a ritual burning of a religiously-motivated terrorist in effigy, though. Ah, local flavour.
