For
days leading up to Dia de Los Muertos, people are seen in the
streets on their way to the cemetery. |
At
the gate, children sell buckets of water they have carried here.
The water is used for cleaning the graves. |
Special
flower stands sell "zempasuchl" (marigolds), the orange
flowers used to decorate the graves of their loved ones. |
The
cemetery is full of life, with people of all ages visiting the
dead. |
The
mood is quiet and respectful, but people are rarely seen crying.
