Hola Amigos y Amigas
Saludos desde San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico!! Here is a bit on our crazy adventure in Mexico!!! Dia de los muertos is a celebration that is a homage to the dead. A day to remember the ones you loved and cared about. You celebrate it by buying tons of yellow flowers, why yellow because the yellow color leads the soul to there destination. Some people began making there preparation two days before, they begin by making the altar, in the altar you have there favorite foods, a picture of them, there favorite drink, candles, and flowers. The actual day of Dia de los muertos, is Nov. 2, Nov. 1 is the day that the little Angeles, come home, meaning all the small children that have passed, they come on that day, so you light up small candles for them. The food needs to be made from starch and when you are done you sit down and eat with them and remember all the things you loved about them. We where invited by Dona Esperanza to come and celebrate, she owns a restaurant named "el pitufo" the smurf, (Good food)
