Today, I am again participating in a Fulbright event. It is Dias de los Muertos and Fulbright has invited us to celebrate it with the Mexican community living here in the area. I went there with Giovanni, an Italian guy, I knew from former Fulbright events. The event started with a tranquil breakfast. At noon, the celebration began. Dias de los Muertos is the day where the Mexican remember their dead relatives. There was a very strange and mystique atmosphere during the whole day. I hope you will get a feeling for it by looking at the pictures.
The opening ceremony consisted of a wild "Danza Azteca". It was so impressive to whatch these dancers jumping, gyrating and screaming. During the whole afternoon beautiful Mexican dances were performed. We were just sitting in the grass and enjoying the music and dances.
Also the visitors were invited to remember their dead relatives by constructing little altars or decorating sculls. We had a lot of fun giving our skull a nice face... ;-)
You shouldn't miss these mystique, funny and at the same time scary photos!
