Day of the Dead decorations in Tlapan

On Wednesday, Jeff and I flew to Mexico City. I needed a scan that they have in Merida but they have better machines in Mex City.

The scan came with a free night in the hotel attached to the hospital.

It came in very handy for my 7:00am test which was just down the hall.

On Wednesday night we checked out the Day of the Dead decorations in the neighborhood of Tlapan near the hospital.

Jeff and this skeleton got along especially well.

These skulls reminded me of the cows in Chicago and Pigs in Seattle years ago where different artists would paint them.

Mexico City has massive parades and decorations for Day of the Dead. We thought about staying the weekend for then but decided it would be too many crowds. 22 million people dressed up as skeletons sounds overwhelming.

We are flying back to Merida Thur night. One million skeletons and a Mayan themed celebration sounds more doable.
