We had spent the morning at Bandelier National monument. The evening was a little chilly. Our plan was to go to the Santa Fe Plaza and join in the Dia de los muertos (day of the dead) festivities.

It was a version of halloween and a mass srardham of sorts with live music and people dressed up in costumes.

The slight drizzle that was coming on and off made the colors vibrant. We were greeted by an amazing rainbow as we walked in.

Spent some time walking through the plaza and soaking it all in. Then went to the restaurant where we had a reservation for dinner. Once there, we realized that we almost had outdoor seating and that meant some smoke from a cannabis store nearby. There was also very limited options for vegetarians and the restaurant suggested we were better off going to another restaurant which had vegetarian food. They were going to have a busy night and all their other tables were reserved. It was nice of them.

San quickly found a vegetarian place a block down. The Fiesta Oaxaca folks were extremely nice and accomodated a table for 8 in record time. The food was great as was the service.

After we ate and celebrated, it was time to walk around the plaza again for a good 30 minutes before we made our way back to the parking lot and drove back. It had been a fun filled day.

Here are the pictures..
