Why October Is the Best

The lovely couple.

First thing that comes to mind when you think of October? Halloween, of course. Well, for me, it is one of the most fun times of the year. It’s not only a time to dust off neon-colored wigs, but it also means Día de los Muertos and Halloween-themed events.

If you’ve seen the movie Coco, you have an idea of how beautiful Día de Los Muertos is. I usually like visiting Hollywood Forever Cemetery for the occasion, one of L.A.’s most historic places. They hold one of the largest and most fun Day of the Dead celebrations. This year, though, I decided to enjoy more of my neighborhood, so I took to Long Beach and enjoyed its eighth annual Día de Los Muertos.

Another event I really enjoyed this year was Knott’s Berry Farms’ Knott’s Scary Farm event with creepy mazes. They had a beautiful display of giant alibrijes. You know those beautiful, brightly colored animal wooden sculptures you see when you visit Oaxaca or are at any Mexican airport? Knott’s had an awesome display themed around Día de Los Muertos.

I would love to hear about your fall events! Let me know what I should try next.

Fantastical tigerfly creature. Don’t quote me on that. I just came up with the name.

Snakebird?

Totally off topic but a little related, did you know you can enjoy a donation-based yoga class at Hollywood Forever Cemetery?

The Bishop’s Lodge’s Bunkhouse: A Rustic, Historic Getaway

Santa Fe, New Mexico, is a small town that’s big on historic landmarks, buildings, parks and Western lore. Many of its most fascinating structures also happen to be hotels, including Bishop’s Lodge, which extends the city’s specific charms from the streets into the public areas and private suites and rooms. While most of the properties within historic buildings are upscale, Bishop’s Lodge is now a member of Auberge Resorts Collection thanks to a painstaking restoration, luxury appointments, commitment to personal service and wide range of exclusive activities.
