MEXICO'S DAY OF THE DEAD

Nothing is quite so surrealistic as Mexico's Day of the Dead.
 I understand honoring your dead relatives with flowers and candles. That is a no brainer but when it gets into ....., Well you will see by the photos, that sometimes the symbolism is just a little obscure.

These are candies and toys to decorate the grave sites


Not at all sure who this character is . Lets just call him mr. CH

 Skeletons of course

 These little highly dressed lambs are very popular


 And who does not want PINOCCHIO on their grave site?? or is that Mitt Romney?

 Flowers and candy. 

 And I love this bloody already dead skeleton. Where did all that blood come from if he/she was already dead?

 A graduating witch????


I want to know what the note in the center says.

 A skeleton who needs protection from the sun?

So ... life  around the Day of the Dead gets even more SURREALISTIC.
