2008 Dia de los Muertos - A Celebration of Life - El Paso, Texas
The City of El Paso and the El Paso Times has published a listing of all the Dia de los Muertos events throughout the city. It appears that this year's events have been pared back from recent years. I could be wrong. What I'm not seeing is a single, large event like the one that took place downtown just outside of Union Plaza last year. I still highly recommend the Dia de los Muertos event at Centro Mayapán, which consistently is fantastic.

Photos of my daughter and me at Dia de los Muertos 2007, Centro Mayapan, El Paso, Texas
While finishing a delicious bowl of Sopa Azteca the other day at Café Mayapán, I ran in to Arturo and Vallarie Enriquez of Vantage Point Studios. Art reminded me that he had taken a few photos of my daughter and me at last year's Dia de los Muertos celebration at Centro Mayapan, and sent them to me a few days later. Thanks to Vantage Point for allowing me to share the photos!
Give Vantage Point Studios a visit! They're one of El Paso's finest!
