Picture of the day : Feliz Día de Muertos ( happy day of the dead)
In celebration of Día de Muertos I present the picture of the day.
If you ever get the chance to go to mexico, or anywhere in Latin America this is the time to go. ( despite the news reports, it is safe in most of mexico, and no they are not beheading us at the border) Either way, if you have the chance to go to mexico go during Día de Muertos, it is an amazing day(s), It is not the Mexican Halloween but it does have similarities. Día de Muertos ( Day of the dead) is a celebration of the dead, but in a way to honor them. On this day family gather, usually at the grave in remembrance and pray for those they lost. They will also bring gifts and the favorite foods ( including sugar skulls called calaveras de azúcar) for their loved ones to their graves.
The celebration usually last from Oct 31 to Nov 2 ( but in some parts of Mexico ( or Latin America it is only celebrated on Nov2). There is also a festival and a parade. It is a site to see !
