To a Mexican, Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is far more than a colorful celebration — it’s a deeply spiritual and emotional tradition that connects the living with their ancestors.
It’s believed that during this time — November 1st and 2nd — the souls of the departed return to visit their loved ones. Families prepare for their arrival by creating ofrendas (altars) filled with photos, favorite foods, drinks, candles, marigolds (cempasúchil), and personal items of the deceased. These offerings are not acts of mourning but acts of love and remembrance.
The Day of the Dead is about celebrating life, not fearing death. Mexicans see death as a natural continuation of existence, and the holiday reminds everyone that those who have passed are never truly gone — as long as they are remembered.
It’s also a time for laughter, storytelling, and music — often at cemeteries — where families gather to share food and memories by candlelight. This balance of joy and reverence defines what it truly means to Mexicans: to keep the spirit of their loved ones alive in their hearts and homes.

Good Mexican morning, friends!
We wanted to share some exciting news—we are now officially permanent residents of Mexico! We’re getting settled into our new home and enjoying life in the charming town of Puerto Morelos. We’ve already found a great local butcher and are still on the hunt for the perfect frutería to satisfy our taste buds. Here are a few photos with friends from Alberta here visiting. @lovesloudcars
We hope you and your families are doing wonderfully—happy, healthy, and enjoying life wherever you are!
