You're so clever!<br />Kay, I know how much you love this holiday and Mexico. Wish you were closer and here.<br />Rita, your writing is so beautiful and you have inspired me to want to make the trek on the Camino. I have some friends here in San Miguel that made the walk and it really, really impacted their lives.Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-4691014094590988052009-10-28T06:01:55.411-06:002009-10-28T06:01:55.411-06:00I do know exactly what you mean....what is it with...I do know exactly what you mean....what is it with us Americans in the USA???...have we become a cultureless society of shallow, mindless consumers??

Then morphed into the commercial greed festival it is now in the USA. But in Mexico with a few add ons from the Catholic point of view, it remains what it was meant to be,a day to honor the departed and regard the gathering darkness.<br />I think you explained it beautifully and perfectly.
