Happy Day of the Dead (Día de Muertos) everyone. It's a beautiful holiday celebrated mainly in Mexico to honor family members and friends who have passed away. Although on the surface it may seem macabre to some, it really is a display of just how important family is to Mexican and Latin American families. You also get to see some beautiful artwork in the not only in the makeup worn by those celebrating, but in the deocrations to be seen everywhere. I was lucky enough to spend November 1st and 2nd once in Mexico City, what an amazing experience! If you ever have the chance I highly recommend it!
Over the last couple of years they have been producing some beautiful colorized Libertad silver rounds to celebrate the holiday. Here is the one from 2024:

And my absolute favorite form 2023:

I haven't been able to get my hands on either yet, finding them for sale at a reasonable price is hard to do. But these one Troy ounce silver Libertad rounds have been turned into incredible artwork and I would love to have them in my collection! Isn't that amazing detailing they put into the art on these silver canvases?

Just some select pictures I found from parades and events surrounding the celebration in Mexico City. None of my personal pictures are anywhere to be found, I think the ex-wife got rid of them due to jealousy of my old Puerto Rican girlfriend since she had accompanied me to Mexico City long before I met the ex... Oh well...
It's a wonderful celebration and it really is a way to remember those loved ones who have passed on and celebrate their lives. It's also a great way to to blow off some steam and just have fun! If you do decide to visit make sure to use common sense and stay in public areas. Mexico City can be dangerous if you don't know where you are going and don't stay vigilant of your surroundings.
Today it is Saturday which also means it time to update my Saturday Savers status, and also happens to be Hive Power Up Day. So let's kick off with a rather small power up, but some is better than none! I honestly had almost forgotten it was HPUD until I saw a post by @seckorama , thanks for the reminder!
## Hive Power
This years goal was to reach 10K Hive Power. I finished it up months ago and reset the goal to 13K HP. Slowly but surely I am on my way there. Right now I have 11,835 HP, so a mere 1,165 to go! With just about 8 weeks to go in the year I need to bring in 145 HP a week, a bit of a tall order at the moment. I did increase my HP this past week by 215 HP, so hope does spring eternal as of yet!
I have complete several other goals this year, but for the sake of time today I will be leaving them off on this post as it is already a bit long. I'll catch you up some more next week!
That will wrap up this Saturday's post for #saturdaysavers , #hupd, and my well wishes of a Happy Day of the Dead! Please feel free to leave any questions or comments below and thank you for all of your support. I really do deeply appreciate it! Have a great weekend everyone!
