My boss and his wife got back from

and I came out here the first of Octo-
Der to get things started and | expect
the boss out within couple of weeks.
found everything here in good shape
and the people extremely glad to see
me for this little mine is the only sup

The fruit trees that planted a little

of my remembrance, especially the
papaya trees, which are just loaded
down with fruit and we will have some
mighty good eating when they COM

orange trees have also done very we'll

Bread of the Dead.
Saturday the Fiesta de Todos San
tos started and I have not man on
the job. This is one of the big fiestas
of the year and all go into it with the
intention of enjoying themselves. On
this day everybody is supposed to eat
bread instead of tortillas. The bread
is called "Pan de los Muertos" (bread
of the dead and is made with flour and
a great any eggs. One of the other
dishes of this feast is guajalotory mole"
turkey and chill sauce) and is extreme
ly good when made right and to use an
old expression, I can eat it until the
cows come home. I used to have cook
that could make mole and if | remem-
Der rightly it needed % different things
to make it according to her directions.
1t is the custom on this day to call
on all your friends and make them a
present of some guajalotory mole, or
some bread, fruit or chocolate, and, if
he is a particularly good friend, little
of all. Your friend is on duty bound
to Immediately repay you with pres
ent of his eatables.
While in Oaxaca | saw another fiesta
I think it is called "San Simon. Any
way it is the day when the animals are
blessed and of all the sights
ever saw that beat them all. Dogs, cats,
sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, turkeys,
ducks, geese, bulls, cows, birds and even
the most repulsive looking bugs and
worms, some of them dressed in clothes,
some in cages and boxes, and some, es-
pecially the dogs, cats, sheep, goats, pigs
and chickens, dyed all the colors of the
rainbow, all being taken to one of the
churches to be blessed.
! A few years ago an America in Oaxa
ca had white dog and his mozo on this
day dyed the dog green around his head
and shoulders and red on his hind quar-
tiers. The American was arrested the
same day for insulting the Mexican flag
for the green, white and red made the
colors of their flag. Not withstanding
that mozo had done the trick without tt e
owner of the dog knowing anything &
bout il. he was kept in Jail "a hours.
