Today was a gorgeous day for a trip down to Pilsen to view the annual Day of the Dead exhibit. I was telling [livejournal.com profile] monshu that I think some of this year's ofrendas are among the most elabourate I've seen. If you haven't been, don't sweat; it runs for six more weeks. And while you're down there, be sure not to miss the exhibit dedicated to the murdered women of Ciudad Juárez. It's very beautiful and very moving. And it runs until mid-February, so I may try for a second visit.

We had lunch at Mundial, visited the ruins of Café Bombón, picked up tamales at La Cebollita and pan de muertos at Panadería Nuevo Leon. On the ride back to the Loop, I fell into chatting with a cherubic gallery owner, but poor [livejournal.com profile] monshu was missing his naptime and had to retreat. There's more I'd like to go on about, but I've had a pretty emotionally draining day, so I just want to thank the Old Man for being the most awesome boyfriend ever and making me deliriously happy to have him in my life.

We stopped by Pasticceria Natalina on Saturday for her pignolati, which are pretty much dead ringers for panellets.
