Day of the Dead: Mexico City Style I

I spent the week surrounding Day of the Dead this year in Mexico City.

Day of the Dead takes place on November 1 and 2, however, it has evolved into a week-long celebration in many parts of Mexico.

The San Angel neighborhood of Mexico City has an art market each Saturday, which draws a large crowd. Saturday, October 29 drew many in their Day of the Dead finest!

Here is Daniela, midway through her face-painting:
