The city is getting ready in a big way for the big celebration, putting together altars and special exhibits in every available space. I caught a few photos yesterday and today...This one in the entrance of a kindergarten...
Some images are built from sand, this one from corn, beans and nuts, on the floor of an artists cooperative. I held the camera as high as possible over my head to take this "blind" image.
...in the lobby of a bank. Many altars are built like this one, with flowers, pictures, the favorite food of the dead and lots of candles...
...the entrance of Las Danzantes restaurant...
..flower venders on the street by the mercado Juarez, after a rain...
....candy skulls for sale. These are chocolate, but some are marzipan...
....the sugarcane is often used as a trellis, and will be completely covered with flowers. The store behind this street vendor is a pawn shop, where I bought my sewing machine a few months ago!
