El dia de los difuntos - Part II
Living here in Guapulo, the bohemian art community that is also home to many long-time families, we feel privileged to have the opportunity to share in the long-held traditions in this authentic setting.
How can a travel experience possibly top that? At least to our way of thinking.
This morning, we partook in a morning guagua de pan, drank some colada morada and made a visit to the impossibly steep hillside setting of the Guapulo Cemetery.
On the cobbled streets, vendors sold fresh
and plastic flowers so that the memorials and
grave sites could be freshly decorated.
Mass was held at the cemetery.
People were perched on the steep hillside, listening to the priest's homily by their loved ones' grave sites.
