Dia de Muertos - Mexico
As October comes to an end, Mexico bursts into a riot of colors
and flavors! Dia de los Muertos, also known as the Day of the
Dead, isn't a somber occasion; it's a vibrant celebration of life
and death. Families come together to remember and honor their
loved ones who have passed away. It's a joyful reunion, not a
goodbye.
You'll spot beautifully created altars popping up all over
the place, from the bustling streets to cozy family homes. These
are like love letters to tradition, decked out with the bright and
sunny marigold flowers, known as "cempasúchil" in Mexico - trust
me, they've got twenty petals of pure awesomeness!
