Brightly painted skull in sombreros… and skeleton ladies in beautiful dresses… what does all this have to do with my English relatives coming to visit us in San Diego… what does this have to do with anything???

And gee, Arthur, you have already done two other posts of skulls and skeletons, and you tell us there are more one the way?

And why on earth did you walk for miles in the hot sun to take these pictures?

And what exactly is ‘dia de los muertos’ anyway???

These are some of the questions that might be going through your head right now… (unless you speak Spanish and know a little about Mexican culture, and remember that San Diego is only a few miles away from the border with Mexico… you know… where Trump wants to build his stupid wall)…

But I can’t answer these questions now. I have to take a shower and get ready to spend another day with my relatives… and take more photos to share with you…

If it really bothers you, you could just Google the answers to some of these questions… about Mexican culture, I mean…

You could learn about the world you live on…

Or… you could just look at the pretty pictures…

And wait for me to tell the story…
