Sometimes in Arizona, I feel like I'm in Mexico. Actually, I guess most of it was Mexico until the mid-1800's (and claimed by Spain before that), so that's an easy explanation for the cultural similarities.
On our roadtrip to Globe several weeks ago, we came upon this little roadside chapel/shrine. I made Craig stop so I could take some photos. I think it was probably decorated especially for Memorial Day because there were many lit candles and photos of loved ones.

I'm not Catholic, but sometimes I think I missed my calling! I love all the shrines, symbolism, candles, and ritual. Here's the Catholic Church in Miami, Arizona. It also reminds me of Mexico!
(I think it's definitely time for a trip south of the border!)
