As an American living full-time in southern Baja, it’s always interesting to travel to other popular expat destinations and compare notes. I recently had an opportunity to spend two weeks in Ajijic, Jalisco, Mexico, and I must say I was very impressed.

Mexico’s El Dia de Muertos is certainly a colorful holiday veiled in mysticism, satire, playfulness and poignancy all at the same time. If you’re thinking of experiencing the bursting festivities of the Day of the Dead right at the source, the center of the Yucatan peninsula and the Mayan town of Pomuch could give you the purest pre-hispanic feel of the holiday. Here, the bones of the dead are exhumed to be brushed up for the following year.
