The big day

The color is dazzling. It celebrates the spirit of the ones that have gone before us.
People bring loads of flowers and ofrendas (offerings) to decorate the graves of their dead. This-year’s deceased get particular ornamentation. Literally, all the bright-orange marigolds of the fields are now covering the cemeteries, along with the deep-red-violet “velvet” flower, and pure-white baby’s breath. Other varieties are also present in less quantity.
The creativity for adorning the graves knows no limits. People put very much care and attention to honor and remember their dead. They also bring balloons, toys, and even serenades to their loved ones. It is quite an unforgettable experience.
