Día de los Muertos












Hello! Today was Día de los Muertos and it was a lot quieter than I thought it was going to be. A lot of the shops in town were closed up (not sure if it was for the holiday or because it´s Sunday). Last night I went out to the cemetery and there were a lot of altars set up, I posted some pictures of some of them. There was a parade and a lot of festivities around town all weekend.
Tomorrow I head out with two new friends (EstadoUnidenses) to the coast. Maybe Mazunte? Maybe Zipolite? The plan is to relax on the beach with a good book.
Tonight a bunch of people from our hostel went to a town called Xoxocotlan where there was some music and a costume contest. On the way there, we caught a ride on the back of a flatbed truck which was really funny and fun.
I don´t have much else to say right now... I´ll try to write from the coast, if there are computers there.
