I was invited back to Mezcala on Day of the Dead, Dia De LaCruz--after a 5 year absence by members of the community for a tour of
their, scattered about town ,dances by youngsters as a sort of
rememberance of the years when I was part of their community--A lot of
my work--5 generations of it was dedicated to this community. The director of the museum is Exciquio Santiago Cruz is shown in the picture with me. The picture with Francisco is my friend, Jose, a popular prepatory teacher, who knew all the children and originally introduced me to Mezcala's historical observances of pre-hispanic tradition. It was a wonderful and exhausting day.
