So it turns out that Mexico’s world-famous Day of the Dead festival lasts more than a day (two weeks really) and is one of the most life-affirming celebrations that can be experienced. My conference in Valle de Bravo has just ended, and I’ve decided to add a week in order to be here on November 1 and 2, the main festival days. We’ll base ourselves in Mexico City. I’ve got a friend we can stay with and others to take us around, so we’re all set. Vamos!
