Day of the Dead 2025

Another year has passed so quickly since our last Dia de la Muertos celebration.  So much can happen in a year that keep us too busy to even notice how the time is flying by.  Here at UMAR, we take a day to reflect on the past and the people who have left us behind.

 

Dr. Modesto Seara Vasquez will always be the first person we remember when we think of UMAR.

Phew!  There are so many preparations underway.  This is the best lighting for pictures so let's check everything out before the sun goes down.

This is the best use of corrugated cardboard I have ever seen.  Check out the stairs.

Outstanding Katrina.

Friends who made an impact on all of our lives here at UMAR.

 

Oh no.  That pesky Romanian villain has discovered the science of sunscreen.  Noone is safe anymore.

Ok.  Let's head to the audiorium for katrinas, traditional music and hardcore melodramatic theater.

The young man in the center has an amazing strong operatic voice.  Just stunning.

Night has fallen and everything looks so different.

Kindred spirits!

 Melodrama on the street.  Wolfmen and chucacabras.

Healthy snack to enjoy on the street.

10 PM.  No wonder I was tired.

As I packed myself off to hit the road, I still heard energetic tourism students cheering for the far end of the campus.

Goodnight, Dr.  Vasquez.  Thank you for making another fantastic night of memories possible.  You will always be a part of them.
