1. I love the gravestone right behind him
It touches my Hispanic soul.

FAMILIA ESTRADA
Nacimos para morir
nadie es eterno
en el mundo

ESTRADA FAMILY
We were born to die
No one is eternal
in this world

5. The Day of the Dead
Edited on Sun Mar-14-10 03:14 PM by Xipe Totec
On November 2nd, All Souls Day, Mexicans make a path of marigold petals to their homes, so that dead souls can find their way home and visit their living relatives.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_Dead

In Mexico, marigolds are called Zempaxochitl - The flower of the dead.

6. It's my favorite day here in San Antonio. I love the parades and
the celebration of those we've lost. Plus, it's my birthday! Everybody loves a parade on their birthday.

7. 2010 is the centenial of the Mexican Revolution
Edited on Sun Mar-14-10 03:22 PM by Xipe Totec
and Bicentenial of Mexican Independence.

(September 16, 1810, November 20, 1910).

Maybe sometime around September through November, we could do one photo contest around Fiestas Patrias events in the US? I bet it would be colorful!
