Summary

Join us this week as we head into Mexico and join one of the most famous celebration in the world, Dia de los Muertos. Many people believe that this is Mexico's version of Halloween, and although there are some parallels, this could not be farther from the truth. We discuss the love story that created the volcanoes of Parque Nactional Iztaccíhuatl. We will visit the elaborate and colorful celebrations that surround these days along with ancient beliefs of what happens after death. Today we will not mourn the dead, but honor them.
