| La Catrina Contest |
This weekend before the celebration of Day of the Dead on November 1 and 2 provided us what can only be called the Día de los Muertos Pre-espectáculo (Day of the Dead Pre-show).

| Catrina Family |
The city has been in full swing preparing for Día de los Muertos. Images of Catrinas are appearing with more frequency around town, marigold flowers border restaurant doorways, stages have been erected for evening musical entertainment near El Jardin and, of course, a La Catrina contest was conducted at Plaza Civica.

We have yet to appreciate the cultural impact of this Día de los Metros cele- bration. We attended a talk on October 31 regarding the altars that are erected in homes to honor those who have passed. We will be taking a guided Día de los Muertos tour on November 1 through the catacombs and city cemetery.
Until, then we see the celebration in its more animated forms in the painted faces of celebrants and costumed Catrinas.
