Day of the Dead

We're back to our normal winter life in sunny (HOT) Mazatlan.  It's November so lots of family and friends are in town.  Last night we went to Centro to celebrate Dia de los Muertos in the Macado (town square).  Thousands of people show-up for a great parade and entertainment.  We had a nice dinner and then the party started.

Dancing in the square.

Hundred of locals and expats painted up.

Elaborate costumes for the parade. 

Twirling fire in the crowd.  It's Mexico after all.

More dancing dead.

And dancing dead soldiers. 

Fifteen foot tall dancing skeletons joined the parade.

This skeleton swam through the parade.

My brother Dave found a dead bride.

It's another great beginning to a winter of fun in paradise.  Tomorrow night we will be back in Centro to do the First Friday Art Walk.  27 studios will be open to tour and wander through.

Life is good.
