Day of the Dead!!


Yesterday(Nov 2nd) was Dia de los Muertos(Day of the deads) The whole family went to the Ponteon (where Leti's Mom is buried) and decorated the grave and a priest gave mass in the graveyard. Kind of wierd for an American never witnessed this before. But it was very cool also. They have some pretty cool traditions down here, and a few bizarre ones too. We only opened the business for a 1/2 day and then attended the festivities. Almost every grave in the cemetary was decorated with flowers and photos and little rememberences of what that person liked when they were living. For instance if they liked Juicy Fruit gum you would put a pack on their headstone or close to the grave.
