November 2, 2014 in the Mission District in San Francisco. Cruising with the parade, strolling through an assortment of elaborate, room sized alters contrasted with humble offerings of flowers and candlelight, celebrating loved ones who have passed on. I left cards for mom and dad and aunties and uncles.
I was accompanied through the frenetic throng by good friends Marcy, Jan and Jim and our trusty four legged companion, Scooter.
On our way out of the fray, back to the car we strolled down Balmy Alley to peruse the spectacular graffiti. The evening was a vibrant display of art and emotion; powerful and somewhat exhausting. It was a relief to finally be heading north across the Golden Gate bridge, back home to peaceful Marin.
