Dia del Muertos

There was a coffee exposition in Parque Juarez over the weekend, with vendors in booths set up by the City selling coffee, coffee liqueurs, and a variety of other items.

Today the action in the park and within the portico of the state government building has turned to erection of Dia del Muertos alters.

For those interested, here is my report of the day from last year, and here is a post with photos of a number of the altars.

    You don’t need to post this, but check your two links. They both lead to the same page. Very interesting photos!

    Thanks for the notice Dan.

    I don’t moderate posts so they go up automatically.

    Looking at the post from last year I see there are formatting problems I attribute to moving from Blogger to WordPress. I must take full credit, however, for the atrocious editing.

    I will take new photos this year and do a fresh post.

    Thanks again and thanks for visiting.
