Day of the Dead in Utrecht

Today we went to Utrecht for the Day of the Dead (Spanish: Día de (los) Muertos) activities held in this city. We first went to Instituto Cervantes which is near the Dom Tower of Utrecht, a favorite of Jaiden. But because we were late we missed the workshops. I ate a taco with conchinita pibil which was really nice. Jaiden went outside to take photos of the Dom Tower and surroundings as she is very much into Gothic architecture.

Then we went to Neude library but there we also were a bit late, so we walked to Hoog Catharijne shopping center and we were in time to see three dances by Grupo de Danza Xochiquetzal.

In the evening we went to Taste of India, an Indian restaurant we like to frequent. When we entered the building we saw an orange cat. Later the cat paid us a visit and jumped in Alice's lap. And a little later it was Jaiden's turn.
