(Reuters) Updated: 2006-11-02 14:50

Popular Assembly members mark the Mexican Day of the Dead in
Oaxaca city's main plaza, Mexico November 1, 2006. Tourists were back in the
graceful center of the Mexican city of Oaxaca on Tuesday, mingling with riot
police who last weekend drove out activists demanding the ouster of a reviled
governor. Most of the city remained under the control of protesters, but Oaxaca
residents and American tourists sat on benches in the leafy central plaza, the
heart of a five-month-long protest against state Gov. Ulises Ruiz. [Reuters]
