Michoacan and more Day of the Dead

We celebrated more of the Day of the Dead Thursday night. We went to the Garden Borda and there was a free celebration. Completely wild. There were people in costumes and on stilts, live music and more. I got charged by one of the guys on stilts, I'm hopefully posting that picture. I got some good and some bad video. For the first time on my trip I ran out of memory on my camera, all in one night. Wild, no? The next day we left for the state of Michoacan, to the west of Morelos where Cuernavaca is located. We stayed in the City of Morelia and visited other pueblos as well. We visited a city on an island in the middle of the state and I climbed up the arm of a ginormous statue of Morelos. Kind of fun. I got a picture of our director, Ramiro, sticking his head out of the sleeve. I might post that, but I'm not sure how well it will show up. On the top of the island there were these dancers, they are youth dressed up as old people. They are called Vejitos. They do this incredible dance that I never got to see the end of. I got some video, but for the second time in mexico, I ran out of memory on the camera, bummer! It was only the first part of the second day!!!!!! WaaaaH. :) It was a lot of fun. Then we went to this one town whose name I have no idea what it was. We ate lunch and shopped and saw two more groups of Vejitos. What fun! After that we went to Santa Clara de Cobre and all there was to do was shop and I found a wonderful bracelet of lady bugs that made me think of my friend Elizabeth who died last year. I couldn't help but buy it in memory of her. We got back to the hotel and couldn't find a place to park the van so Ramiro parked it a few blocks away. He and Stephanie and I ate dinner while the others went for this fruit dish. There was live music in the Zocolo, Jazz, lots of fun. We went to this Churro and Chocolate place, but the crowd was imense so we decided to visit it the next day. It had been a long day and oh, yeah, I got a sunburn on the island, or in the launch (probably the launch). Luckily this was on my chest and not on my back again so my old sunburn still has time to recover.
The next day we visited some museums, finally ate our churros and came home to Cuernavaca.

OK I've been so busy this week that it has taken me days just to post this, now I don't remember a whole lot! lol. I hope you enjoyed it!
