Hi Jeanne. I just wanted to tell you that I am happy to see so much information on Day of the Dead up on the site. Day of the Dead is an important day for Latinos because it is a traditional day. My mom always celebrates it by taking the time and remembering all of her dead loved ones. There is a great exhibition of altars in the Pueblo Gallery in Olvera Street. I went last Saturday. I also bought a shirt to celebrate day of the dead, but I didn't know who the artist of the artwork was. When I went into the site I found out that the artist was Jose Guadalupe Posada, and the artwork is titled "El Jarabe en Ultratumba." Once again, thanks Jeanne for being open to different cultural beliefs.
