Did you know that this week is San Diego Beer Week?  We didn’t either until tonight when we ventured to Sea Rocket Bistro. They, as well as other restaurants in San Diego, are holding special events all week.  At Sea Rocket those include beer themed movies, special beers on tap/cask and a $30 special meal.

Chloe says: I became fascinated with the holiday Day of the Dead after spending time studying in Mexico.  I loved how people celebrated the dead, taking time to remember those who have passed and to honor them by creating altars in their homes or going to the cemetery, cleaning and decorating the graves of their dearly departed.  I believe this holiday is very important to all of us, a time that is dedicated to remembering those who have been in our lives, but have passed on.  I think it is healthy to remember those people and to view death not as a dark and scary event, but as part of the natural cycle of life. Day of the Dead is celebrated November 1^st and 2^nd.
