One of my very best friends Tori and I decided on taking an adventurous journey in to the city of Los Angeles. As many fellow Californians know, LA is filled with diversity and culture-which made the adventure over the last weekend even more worthwhile. Initally, we had planned to drive down for a concert, but decided to make it into an all day event :) Here is a small glimspe of our trip to Los Angeles, CA
First Stop: The Elliott Smith Wall (Silverlake, CA)
For anyone who understands the history and significance of this wall (turned into a memorial) can only comprehend how appreciating it was for us to visit this site. The works of Elliott Smith and the tragic death of him will forever be remembered by this memorial. Although it was such a great experience, I felt sadden by the graffiti that covered the wall; the harsh unnecessary remarks of the graffiti just broke our hearts. We left it by signing the wall with our thoughts to him, just as many others have done before. He is a legend and will forever be missed.
