Cherokee Street and Osage Oranges

Today or rather tonight is the holiday Día de Muertos, the Mexican holiday that we call the Day of the Dead. Saint Louis Magazine had the hours for the Cherokee Street celebration beginning before noon, but when we biked over there, there was no party to be found. I figured out later that it is more of a nighttime thing than something done during the day. For us, this holiday turned out to be kind of a day of the dud. Anyway, we had a nice luncheon at La Vallesana. Their pork tacos were worth a revisit and we ordered two more. It was a beautiful sunny day that warmed up quite nicely. We enjoyed riding through both Forest and Tower Grove parks. There was plenty of fall foliage to be found and it was nice to have us both out on our bikes together again.
