We remember the dead, and the names of the people who died in the local church during the last year are read aloud.

But I totally understand your love for Dia de los Muertos. <br /><br />The best celebration I ever had was the year I spent the day and evening in Jerome (AZ) in the early 1970s when the town was mostly a ghost town and hadn't yet become a tourist destination.Beth Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627666337961326265noreply@blogger.com
