I have also attached a link to a utube video of the celbration of this holiday in San Miguell de Allende. It is about 1/2 hour from our house. This kind of celbration is happening EVERYWHERE. When you see the skeletons dressed like ladies with big hats, those are Katrina Dolls and are designed to remember special things or nuances about someone who is dead. Marigolds are everywhere. the altars have favorites of the departed like breads,drinks, vices, etc. Enjoy!
