Ever since we discussed death rituals in class, I decided to look further into Day of the Dead or Dia de los Muertos. I took Spanish in high school and my teacher was very enthusiastic about this holiday. We celebrated and had a party of our own in class and I thought some of you might enjoy reading more about it. I found the following website with fun facts and the history about Dia de los Muertos. Enjoy!

I've been to one near Oaxaca City in Mexico. It's a blast. Party in a cemetary; complete with all the tequilla you can drink. It's something I would love to do again. The whole village gets into it during the celebration. Definitely something to put on anyone's Bucket list...
ReplyDeleteI always find Dia De Los Muertos such an exciting holiday. I love how the Mexican culture satirizes death in a humorous way and welcomes the idea of the deceased. The decorations itself is just phenomenal in my opinion.
