The second day we went and spent time in Toluca, a city about two hours away from Coyoacán. Our extended family lived out there and we went to spend time with everyone. We went down on Saturday and spent time with the family. Sunday was then spent going over old family photos, having Pan De Muertos and visiting the Cosmovitral and the Mercado. They had the festival of Anelfique. This was a pre De Los Muertos celebration and it was splendid. There was music and magic, and candy skulls everywhere. The costumes were so real it was like they came from Hollywood. They did not hold back. They were terrifying and so well done. I walked around with my family through there until we ended up at the Cosmovitral. The Cosmovitral was a museum with the artwork of Leopoldo Flores. The building originally was constructed in 1910 as the 16 de Septiembre Market. It was beautifully aligned and the color as the sun was setting was breathtaking. The mural was to set in order life as it comes together, and I could have spent more time in there, but the 2 hours we spent there would come to and end. The beauty of the city was amazing, I can’t get over it. It was one of my favorite days.
