The living celebrate their departed, and the departed celebrate as well--during Day of the Dead. For three days, the dead are among the living. There is nowhere else in Mexico that celebrates this tradition--like they do in Oaxaca! Lupe is a child of Oaxaca. Like most children, she is a burning spirit! Once a year, this young soul awakens for the opportunity to indulge in the familiar, and what once made her happy--and ignited her spirit! The essence, flavors and colors that Oaxaca offers is more than mortals alone can exhaust! Once a year, Lupe comes home to a vortex of both revelry and solemnity. Lupe comes home to be shrouded amongst the living...once more.—Anonymous
