Sugar & spice

Sugar & spice, originally uploaded by sappycoldplaywhore.

Día de los Muertos festivities kicked off yesterday. We all went to Ashley's apartment to build an altar, which turned out awesomely. For right now, you'll have to make due with only a picture of one of the sugar skulls (you can't eat them until November 2, when the holiday is over, otherwise los muertos will come and paint your face at night), but hopefully I'll upload many more more pictures. Because Oaxaca goes crazy for Muertos. We already went and saw a danza de los muertos last night at the Casa de Cultura, and the holiday isn't technically until November 1.

And I know I've posted this already, but because it's Muertos and it's so fantastic, I'm just gonna go ahead and do it again.
