Day of the Dead is serious business in Mexico, like Halloween they decorate everything with orange and black garlands, skulls and pumpkins. The festival lasts for two days, 1st & 2nd Nov, and is all about remembering and celebrating the lives of loved ones past.
Everyone gets dressed up, Trick or Treat style, and its customary to give sweets and $.
This was taken on our first weekend, the charming restaurant owner insisted we took a picture with his new 'singing witch'. He gave Maudie a basket of sweets and we left giving him just $8 (for five courses + drinks!).
