Random Photo: Dia de los Muertos Altar

To honor loved ones and/or important people who have passed, altars are made for them. They contain food (including pan de muerto), specific flowers, candy skulls, photos, and knickknacks. They're starting to show up here and there throughout town. Here is the altar for Jose Consuelos, the man who started the language program I attend at the university. It's the 50th anniversary of his death, so I think they made his altar extra nice this year.

Jose Consuelos, I salute thee for creating my cool language program. Muchas Gracias!
