Frida, a New Look

I just absolutely love, admire, idolize everything about Frida Kahlo. I still remember the day that I discovered her vividly as if it was yesterday. Now the Ford Theater in Hollywood is having a lecture presented by Gregorio Luke on Frida Kahlo. I’m very excited to get tickets and attend the event. I just can’t wait for the lecture which is focused on rare images of the late artist along with personal letters. I’ve never been to the Ford Theater either so this should be a good time. I can’t believe the summer is fast approaching, but I’m looking forward to attending all the music events, art events, and festivals that come with it.

Cafe de Camacho

So my mother suggested we drive on down to Olvera Street in L.A. I was very hesistant at first, especially since I had already driven to Silverlake earlier in the day. I’m glad that I decided to make the drive down. We discovered a new cafe on Olvera Street. Cafe de Camacho has an incredible atmosphere and a Mexican hot chocolate to match it. The decor is amazing! All the chairs and tables are mismatched but work together wonderfully. There’s so much art on the chairs it brings conversation to Cafe de Camacho. They even have cafe de olla, which is traditional Mexican drip coffee. Essentially, you boil the coffee vs. letting hot water drip down through the coffee grinds. My mother was very satisfied with the cafe de olla that she even bought another cup to go. Best part of Cafe de Camacho: free wifi! I will definitely be going there again to enjoy another drink from their menu and try their food selections.
Here’s an amazing article on Cafe de Camacho from yelp.com
