Dia de muertos

as i've mentioned before... i'm mexican... and to be honest i did not know how unique and special my culture was until i learnt about others and that's what made me so keen to ancient traditions... like the day of the death which is so simple yet complex... i mean complex because its filled with symbolisms and its now a mix between catholic and prehispanic beliefs... i'm not going to get into all that because i might skip or mention some non-official facts... in the mean time i just wanna share some photos i took while buying this 'alfeñiques' sugar candy sculptures that are placed on the altar...

pan de muertos... the traditional(from my region because in Oaxaca its different...) is sugar coated but this was the first year i saw it chocolate covered... cuz it is a bit too much cuz we drink hot chocolate mated with the sugary bread...  i am craving right now...

yeap i went to the bakery... off to dinner Ü
