El Día de los Muertos
This is an article in the NYTimes about the Día de los Muertos here in Mexico (Day of the Dead). Everyone here is getting prepped for the big day. Everyone sets a table in there house with skull candles, stews, tamales, tacos, coca-cola, beer, tequila, cigarettes and whatever else they think their dearly departed might need in heaven. of course this is clearly not a Catholic way of celebrating but is a hold over from pre-Hispanic ancestral worship. My girlfriend and i are going to have a table set in our apartment for the presidency of George W Bush.
