Today, November 1st, is All Saints’ Day, a.k.a. Hallowmas (which is why October 31st is All Hallows’ Eve, a.k.a. Hallowe’en). It’s the day before All Souls’ Day: November 2nd, unless it’s a Sunday, in which case it’s moved to November 3rd). However, in Mexico, festivities for what they call El Dia de los Muertos — the Day of the Dead — typically begin today.
In the Philippines, we don’t throw fiestas like the Mexicans do. Instead, November 1st is typically the day when you go visit your relatives’ graves. I decided to go traditional this morning and pay Dad a visit.
I miss the big guy.

Was it really crowded? Cemeteries get crazy in Mexico on November 1st.
It wasn't too busy. I suspect that it'll be packed tonight.
