Day after Dia de los Muertos

I love the Mexican tradition of celebrating the dead. Why shouldn´t you?
Being raised with both catholic (home) and lutheran (school) influences, it gave me a somewhat too serious view of death and the supposed afterlife. The catholics seemed a bit too dramatic, although I enjoy a bit of catholic drama now and then, and the lutherans - boy, it´s 100 % the ora et labora-stuff, and very much melancholy. (If you listen to Kent you´ll know exectly what I mean.)

Anyhow, Dia de los Muertos has always fascinated me, I find it sooo cool to celebrate whatever comes after TOD.


And as Isabel Allende said when she was in Stockholm last year (once again, all my love to the Sparkling Sunshine for finding out how to sneak in although sold out!)
- Death is not an obstacle for communication and love.

She also said:
- Please don´t quote me because I can´t be consistent.

I want to be as cool as Isabel when I grow up.
