Hey! I am also going to Mexico City for Dia de los Muertos! I am arriving Tuesday and leaving the Monday after that. Staying in Hostel Cathedral, right behind the Catedral Metropolitana. I don't have things planned out, though. I know some things that I want to see but I'm just going to wing it most of the time with the assistance of a large list of establishments and sites. Can't wait!!!!!
