Even more Dia de Muertos

So one night Sedora and I jump on a bus that we thought would get us near the University. Upon seeing a traffic jam the driver turns and heads down a tunnel. We weren't sure where we were headed. There are 8 tunnels in Guanajuato and they are long and dark and often intersect with other tunnels.When we got off the bus I was completely lost. Sedora had a handle on it and knew what direction to go and we turned a corner to find trick or treaters and a market place set up to sell wreaths for the graves.

The next day Steph and I went to the cemetery.      

It was a little awkward , wanting to photograph the event while being respectful of the families that were there.   

   

          

There was music playing that sounded like it came from an organ grinder, children were playing and throwing rocks, a mass was being held at a small chapel, some people were sitting alone and some were crying .
