The Last of the Alters...

Friday night Taelyn and I popped over to Centro Maya shopping center to check out some alter presentations. We had such a good time. Taelyn of course loved bopping up and down to the music playing on the speakers. I, of course, loved the alters and snapped liked a paparazzi again.

I had a chance to talk to the teacher, Señor Salvador Fernandez and his students whom presented some of the alters from the Universidad Riviera Diseño Grafico (Riviera University of Graphic Artists). They were so gracious and proud of their Mexican culture and wanted to educate me on their history. Mexicans are known for being very inviting and humble with strangers, and this group completely embodied the spirit of their people. Señor Fernandez was very proud of his students and spent over 30 minutes talking to me about their work and what they did for the alters.
