Día de Muertos in Mexico City

I've traveled to Mexico City for the first time.

The reason I visited there was that I wanted to see Day of the Dead(Día de Muertos). People believe that the souls of dead people come back home on that day. I saw some altars that had pictures of people who died, flowers of marigolds, and some fruits like bananas. I learned that people ate "Pan de Muertos", which is bread, on that day. I saw it in lots of bakery and grocery stores.

In Mexico City, there was the parade. It started at 2:00 pm. By the time the parade started, there were too many people standing to see the parade and I couldn't see it clearly. I should've waited there 3 hours ahead like other people did. It was still cool.
