I decided that it was about time I headed down to Olvera Street. I grew up in Southern California and never been! We had to go to LAX anyway, so we made a day out of it and participated in the Dia de los Muertos celebration. It was quite the spectacle! I've always been fascinated with Hispanic culture and it was a blast to be part of it. I even received the Novenario blessing, which is a sacred cleansing that dates back to the ancient Aztecs. Unfortunately I missed the procession, but the people on the Go Los Angeles website caught all the excitement! http://golosangeles.about.com/od/losangelescalendar/ig/Day-of-the-Dead-Novenario-Phot/ Check it out!
