Bienvenido a Oaxaca City (pronounced Waa-HAA-Kuh), Mexico. Just in time to learn about and celebrate the Dia de los Muertos. Bring your sombrero and be prepared to explore an ancient tradition.

Let the journey begin! And the medal is soo stunning on this one. (Look at that low number. I happened to wake up at 3:00 am and nabbed it.)
