Mexicans love their dead...

Although you can't tell from the state of their cemeteries. A cemetery in Mexico is a Panteon. This one is near a little village called Mezcala. It looks a mess, but it just because every tomb is different, individual and special. And as with all publicly owned areas, hard to keep tidy.
But what a gorgeous setting!

I love to look at the cemetaries. Were you there for Día de Los Muertos? Did they all go to the cemetary to talk to their deceased? Were there sugar skulls and pan?

I just read you post on it. That's one of my favorite cultural units to teach the kids(that were) in my spanish classes. One of these years I'm going to Pazcuaro for it.
