First, it was the small neighborhood processions. Music, giant Alebrije’s, mezcal, dancing, more music and, of course, fireworks!
This local parade went right below the terraza outside my room! It was the first sign that festivities were kicking off!
Fast Forward!
Fast forward to the three nights around Dis de Los Muertos. Crowds everywhere. Packed, shoulder to shoulder, everyone moving to the beat of the music and very lively! Often, groups collided in the street as one spit off to another direction. Last night, I could barely move! I walked nearly 3 miles through the events!
Tonight, the last night!
I am heading out shortly. Tonight is the last night! And I’m just about at the end of my stamina. That is, until I get near the vibrant and celebratory energy of the crowds. Then, i simply lose track of time! I’ll head off to a new neighborhood tonight, wander my way back through familiar areas and end up at the Zocolo. Such an awesome experience!
