Dia de los Muertos 2005!




Hello Everyone!

Well, this is my inaugural post in the world of Blog. Hopefully, I won't come off as too much of an idiot. So, just in case, my identity will be obscured somewhat with this first photo. Here I am, all painted up for Dia de los Muertos here in El Paso, Texas. This was taken at the Rasquache Festival near the city's downtown. I was lucky enough to have several photos ops, and my daughter had a great time hanging out with her goofy dad. We also attended the Dia de los Muertos celebration at CafĂ© Mayapan, which was really interesting and featured live music from a traditional five-piece group from Veracruz, Mexico. I'm hoping to attend the Dia de los Muertos festival in Juarez, Mexico next year. It's a fascinating holiday — reverent, yet a lot of fun!
