November 1st was the "The Day of The Dead" (or Saints) It is a day to remember and celebrate loved ones who have died. It is a pretty big deal here in Guatemala. Families go to cemetary and literally hang out. Some families bring food, there are vendors all over selling flowers, it is tradition for kids to fly kites, and i purchased a bag of cotton candy in the cemetary. There was laughter and kids playing everywhere. Here is a picture. The cemetary was beautiful and completely covered in fresh flowers. So many flowers you could barley see the graves. Most of the tombs are above ground.
