Day of the Dead
Today is the Day of the Dead in Mexico, a holiday for celebrating dead ancestors. It's not Halloween Part Two--I don't think Halloween (Samhain) is celebrated in Mexico--though it may appear that way to us in the US. Mexicans are joyful today as they decorate altars with skulls and skeletons. Quite a contrast to the fear, morbidity and denial that death inspires up here.
