Uncategorized Día de los Muertos 2022 – Sayulita, Mexico
May 29, 2023 Natalia Reca 0Comment

Al pastor taco spits are sizzling. Corona Light beers are cracking. Young men on motorbikes roar through the plaza to impress their Latin lovers. There is an older woman making crêpes in the corner. “Nutella con fresa por favor,” I offer in Spanish. [Nutella with strawberry please.] Trumpet and violin notes waft on the wind in the crisp November night. In the center of the bustling square, a young father teaches his five-year-old son how to move to the music, their feet dancing in unison along the cobblestone streets. Ofrendas, catrinas, and indigenous batucada drummers swirl around the evening. Fireworks…

Recently, I was asked a potent question by a friend passing through town. “What is the biggest adjustment you’ve had to make living in Mexico?” My mind started racing with possibilities. Was it the barrage of dirt and dust that settles into every square inch of space? Was it the language barrier that creates an arms-length relationship with locals?

Or maybe it was replying with the standard and rehearsed “No hoy, pero muchas gracias,” for the fiftieth time. Perhaps it was relying on my own…
