The Day of the Dead

Tomorrow is All Saint's day here in the Philippines, so everyone will go to their home town and spend time at the cemetary cleaning up the grave, putting flowers and candles on the gravesite, and of course having a snack.

Here, the vendors even come into the cemetary selling candles, drinks and snacks for the kids.

No beer, please, (but people will sneak in some San Mig with their ice chests).

But if you are Mexican, it is called the day of the dead.

Professor Bob has podcasts about Halloween, about all Saints day and on the Mexican day of the dead.
