I observed the celebration from the evening of 30 October-2 November 2007. It was a very uplifting experience, and reinforces my feelings on cultural ecology. I was approached 25 times or so from 31 October through 2 November by young people with plastic trick or treat pumpkins. Someone has told them of the US tradition, but did not fully explain how it works. The children zeroed in on gringos like me for contributions. I was fortunate to share pozole, atole and sugar tamales with a family spooning up their delicious tradition from the back of a pick up truck for a few pesos. It was delicious. Irma del Peral was very helpful in arranging my hotel and transfers. She is great. Thanks for posting her travel agency! I have many great pix, but I look at the last set with one thought, where do all the flowers go? Many Many families and community groups bring millions of marigolds and thousands are not sold. So much work, for so very little, I hope the vendors have a market for the no purchased flowers. Michael Maguire MA Thank you, Mary, for your help in preparation for my trip to Patzcuaro.
