Back to Teotitlan del Valle for mole negro, the traditional meal for the second day of Muertos. And once again, we were so lucky to have Doña Emilia's incredible mole, which I always tell her is, "
El mejor del mundo", "The best in the world."It's not only the taste, but also, the texture and that amazing color. A little mezcal, some tlayudas, a big bubbling cazuela of mole negro, no wonder the spirits come back.Riquísimo!!
Will you still be photographing the gorgeous flower art on the graves? I love seeing their creativity. Here in the big U.S. city cemeteries it's impossible to replicate what they do in Oaxaca as they have LONG lists of restrictions like: you can't stay overnight or have candles, the graves are flat and covered with grass so nothing can be built on them. No music playing or picnicking. The list goes on and on!
