Halloween! We always start at Andales to hand out candy to the armies of kids that come through in costume. Loved the baby in the bucket. We actually see him carrying her around town in that bucket daily.
This little scarecrow was my favorite!
Ruth gave this little girl an extra pair of Dracula teeth. Mom wanted a pair, too! Que linda!
Several years ago, costumes were not the thing. Instead, the mothers
sewed little frocks or shirts from Halloween fabric, like the little gal below. Now, Halloween
American Style has arrived in Mexico.
This year we brought 300 pencils to hand would with our two Costco bags of candy that we lugged down. The pencils were wildly popular, so we will repeat pencils next year. Even adults asked for pencils.
The costumes were very creative. They used to say "Queremos Halloween" in a little song. Now it is just Halloween. Some say Trick or Treat. And we did get a couple of Tricks from the kids. Many carried Huevos blown and filled with either confetti or flour. The custom is to "break" the egg on someone's head with resulting confetti hair or lots of dandruff. We used one on Jorgen. Ha ha!!
We moved to Sol's Cafe Bohemio for dinner. Sol is in rare form on Halloween. He had several costume changes throughout the evening.
We had a wonderful night with friends Bill and Barb and Kathe and Jorgen. We also ran into Don and Pat from our condo.
Ruth and Kathe sang La Paloma Cucurucucu again with our favorite mariachis, Veracruz.
Oh, good and bad news. The camera decided to work again after we messed around with the focus a million times. We know it won't last, so we will take lots of pictures now! The bad news is that the $10.48 white watch broke. Short life....Walmart.
