Serenading in front of a tomb
Chicks for sale outside the cemetry

Moe setting up


You may notice a couple of photoes with graves and tombstones in the background. This is because Moe, Willy and I did as most Mexican people do on ¨Dia de la Muertos¨(day of the dead) - visited the city cemetry! It was so strange buying a beer from the many stalls around the cemetry then casually strolling through the beautifully decorated graves listening to people serenading and partying for their lost loved ones. Ordinarily I would´ve been freaked out walking through a cemetry at night - however the upbeat, tipsy party atmosphere made it feel like a walk in the park on a sunny day. Also as we were the only Gringoes - we were often invited over to a family gravesite for a beer and a chat!
