Dia de los Muertos "Day of the Dead"


We'll be celebrating the Day of the Dead at the Franklin Inn this Saturday, October 31st. I must admit that the holiday seemed kinda creepy to me until I learned that for most its a day to remember and honor the memory of their loved ones. Once I got past the morbid connotation skulls and skeletons hold for me, the artwork is quite fascinating and beautiful.

Here are a few links to read about this color and festive holiday:
