El Dia de Los Muertos---This 'n That

These are some shots I thought were interesting in their own way. The first is La Catrina at the side of one of the altars. She looks very happy, doesn't she?




Next is an angel suspended from the ceiling and she floats around.




These are "skeletons-in-waiting"! The woman was setting up her altar and had these skeletons sitting on a bench waiting to be placed on the altar!

Folks admiring the altars. These 3 little girls were looking, mesmerized, at the altar, but just as I snapped the picture, they moved away.



The altars, set up on the portico of the City Hall are admired by Vallartans and tourists alike. There is a person there who can explain to the tourists what this is all about---very helpful to those who want to learn about the holiday.

Next you will see the decorations inside the City Hall.

Hasta luego.
