Día de la Muerta, Part I
"The Mexican...is familiar with death, jokes about it, caresses it, sleeps with it, celebrates it; it is one of his favorite toys and his most steadfast love. True, there is perhaps as much fear in his attitude as in that of others, but at least death is not hidden away..."
-Octavio Paz (1914-1998)
Karen and Mike about to embark on their first "Day of the Dead" celebrations in Mexico.
