I was walking in San Cristobal this morning, and stumbled across a funeral procession. It was quite beautiful. The hearse led the way, followed by a massive crowd of mourners walking slowly, all dressed in black, and many carrying umbrellas (presumably for shade from the hot sun). In the midst of the crowd, a band (mariachi band?) was playing some gentle ballads, but with quite mournful wailing voices. Beautiful, and sad. I refrained from taking pictures out of respect, but I wish you could see (and hear, and feel) the energy at that moment. 🙁
