The celebrated Mexican Day of the Dead means one thing for city dwellers and quite another for country folks. It is a day dedicated to the bittersweet remembrance of departed family members. It also is a joyful day for many, celebrating those ancestors who left behind a life enjoyed by their descendants. This family affair takes place over two days, traditionally the 1 st and 2 nd day of November. The 1 st day celebrates the souls of children and young adults, and is called the Day of the Little Angels, or Day of the Innocents, when the family brings toys and tears to the grave. The 2 nd day is the Day of the Dead ( Dia de Muertos)
