Clear day brings new sights 2 days ago

Due to the wind, today was a very clear day. So much, that on my daily walk with my dog, I spotted the volcano Citlaltépetl, the highest peak in Mexico better known as the “Pico de Orizaba” (“Orizaba Peak”). It is about 100km east. Today there was an unobstructed view except by the hill of La Paz neighborhood, which adds to the landscape.

Also, I spotted my first, not one, but three eagles. Those were an everyday thing when I was living back in Puerto Morelos, but here is a rarity, as it’s the first time in seven months that I’ve been here.

The big day 2 days ago

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.
