I'm heading to Mexico for Dia de Los Muertos, Day of the Dead, a celebration that unites pre-Columbian cultural practices with Catholic religious ceremony and ritual. My friend Cate and I will travel to Oaxaca in southern Mexico where the traditional celebrations are beautiful and colorful.

Day with our new friends Hillary and her son PJ
Hillary and her son PJ were staying at the Casa where Cate and I stayed. Hillary was a vivacious and carefree person who invited us along for a wonderful day seeing the natural spring pools of Hierve el Agua high in the mountains, where Cate took a chilly-to-the-bone dip, and lovely cemetaries in small villages in the area. We even had an invitation from a family at one of the cemetaries to view their personal altar and sand painting. It was an extra special treat.
