Coffee, Chocolate and Bread of the Dead

 I saw an article about the "Feria de Café, Cacao y Pan de Muerto" (Fair of Coffee, Chocolate and Bread of the Dead) which was going to be held on October 25th and 26th.  We decided to check it out last Saturday afternoon.

There were more than 100 vendors at the fair.

There was a wide variety of different flavors of "pan de muerto"

These fellows came all the way from the state of Tabasco to sell their artisanal chocolate.

 

There were also handicrafts for sale.  I bought a skull made from Oaxacan black pottery to add to my Day of the Dead decorations.

Although the fair could have been an interesting event, the venue, a hall in the southern district of Churubusco, was much too small for the number of vendors.  You could barely move through the crowd, and it was very hot inside.  It was not an event to which we would return.
