Last Sunday, another Day of the Dead event, the Procession of the "Catrinas", was going to be held in the evening. It was to begin at the Monument to Independence along the Paseo de la Reforma and continue on the Zócalo, the city's main plaza.
As Alejandro and I walked down the boulevard, we saw scores of booths where make-up artists were painting faces. Some of their customers were probably people who were going to participate in the procession later that day. Many others were spectators who simply were getting into the spirit of the event. Although neither Alejandro nor I got our faces painted this year, we certainly enjoyed watching the artists transforming their clients into "catrinas" and "catrines".
Here are some photos...
