Fall 2023 Mexico City and Oaxaco Day of the Dead
After family visits, we headed to Mexico for sightseeing in Mexico City and Oaxaca to see the celebration of Day of the Dead. There, we met good friends, David and Joanne, who we originally met in South Korea as Peace Corps Volunteers. We loved Mexico City and enjoyed the Mexican people that we met throughout our stay. So much culture and history! It was a wonderful trip!
In Oaxaca there were plenty of skeletons and macabre decorations. We were intrigued by this plethora of visions. Below are three young Korean visitors with typical face paintings. We opted not to get our faces painted because, well, we're OLD and really didn't want all that stuff on our skin. LOL.
