A quick note with some pictures of last night, Noche de Muertos (Night of the Dead) in Patzcuaro (Isla Janitzo, Isla Pacanda and Tzintzuntzan). No kids dressed up as monster to scare away the bad ghosts at the graves, as I was expected. But graveyards fully lit by candles and people sleeping next to their (dead) beloved ones.

Just a quick word from Mexico and a few pictures. I will go down to Patzcuaro in Michoacan to make pictures of Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) in this traditional town. Bit by bit the streets are decorated with skeletons and candy in Mexico City.
