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.
Crowds and 22 million revelers. What could possibly go wrong?
As much as I enjoy a good raucous festival…
Oh, who am I kidding, my version of a raucous festival is a cocktail party or an art gallery opening with lots of chisme so I can say things like “Dios mio! Que escandalo!”
You chose wisely to celebrate in Merida.
Yes I totally agree. Even back in college things like Halloween on State Street was too much for me. And no one was dressed as skeletons.
The decorations are beautiful. I love the skulls and flowers. I’d love to be there but not with 22 million our even one hundred. It’s really beautiful though.
Yes being there before the big holiday with just a small group of local families enjoying the decorations was engough.
So beautiful! Love all the decorations! Looks like Jeff is in a fleece jacket. Is it cool there? Enjoy, looks like fun.
Mexico City had perfect fall weather. It is up in the mountains a bit so at 5,000 ft. So really nice weather.
Well, I’m glad you got a to experience a bit of it😀
Wishing you the best on your scan❤️
Thank you. The scan went well.
