Día de los Muertos Part 3: Panteón Xoco and Coyoacan

The final blog about Día de los Muertos. I swear. This one will be short and sweet. Mainly photographs.

One night, Ariana and I went to Coyoacán to check out the celebrations happening there. There was a crap ton of people. A lot of them were wearing costumes. A lot of kiddos running around asking for candy. Instead of going to houses and knocking on doors asking for candy, they go to public squares or even just on the street and ask for it. There was suppose to be a chocolate festival going on too but we couldn't find it. We just roamed around.

Some cool puppets.



Skeletons were trying to take over.

A fab couple


Made it to a cemetery, Panteón Xoco, pretty close to where we live. We were there for about two hours. Olivia ended up befriending some girls almost immediately. I find it amazing how social she is.

Right outside the cemetery they were selling flowers.

Some of the graves that were decorated.
