California Coachella Travels

Readers and friends! You may have noticed that I've been absent for a short while on Cottage and Broome, but it's not because I don't love you, I was just on vacation! I took a brief jaunt to California - Los Angeles, Palm Desert and Indio specifically, for the three-day music festival in the desert, Coachella! It was the most fun I've had in a very long time. Since I was absent from you all for so long, I figured the least I could do was share some photos from my travels. Enjoy a taste of Cali below!


The desert windmills. 



Sunny skies at the festival site.




Festival - goers making their way to main stage.






The main stage - the biggest out of five. The Black Keys, Radiohead, Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg, Santigold, The Arctic Monkeys and about two dozen other bands played it over the course of the weekend. 




Coachella after dark. 



Technicolor palm trees.

House music/DJ troupe Swedish House Mafia closed out the first night with fireworks and pyrotechnics.

The festival's iconic ferris wheel aglow - it was a sad sight to leave. Now that I'm back in New York after a trip to the desert and brief stint in Detroit, I'll be posting again - can't wait to show everyone New York in the summertime!

Andrea,
You were in our neck of the woods. The girls are not far from here. Your pictures were so colorful, with a bright touch added to them. I really enjoyed them. It sounds like you had a fun time.

Hi Andrea!

I live there! I am what is known as a "Desert Rat" as I live there all year as opposed to the "Sun Birds" who just come for the Winter.

The festival had a mix of weather this year...the first weekend was cold and sprinkled a little, and the second weekend was really hot. Sounds like you had a lot of fun.

xoxo Bunny Jean
