I don’t think I’ve ever seen an alter here in Dallas. I’ve seen “fake” ones. . .you know, the ones with cut out skulls and “Dia de los Muertos” construction paper letters cut out pasted on a wall. . but nothing like they do in Mexico. Now those alters. . .I have Tias who spend all of Halloween cooking for “El dia de los Santos” for the deceased children and saints on November 1st, and all day November 1st cooking for Dia de Los Muertos for their deceased loved ones. Tradition looses so much translation here. . ever notice that? I’m going to stop by my favorite Veracruzana restaurant here in Oak Cliff y les voy a reclamar. . Porque no venden pan de los muertos!!! Pos estos! ;) Well at least they have that much over there. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an alter here in Dallas.
