Finishing up Halloween & Day of the Dead

 Mia's costume had to be made, as she requested "silky fuschia"....I'm not kidding. A girl after my own heart.


















 The photo shoot didn't go over so well......












Dracula girl.






























 That's me rocking some awesome face paint-
a la Lauri of Monday's Child.



I wanted to pop in the grocery store SO BAD.......probably not a great idea in a country that is just starting to warm up to this tradition. LOL 



 Dia de los Muertos lady






I had to explain what I was many times to people here. I guess Mexican culture isn't so well known in these parts. I find culture and folklore fascinat
ing

No matter the culture, there is always something to learn.

Ladybug girl. Or Ladybird as they say here.
The ONE non-blurry shot of Rubes. Sigh.











We've had a heck of a candy hangover today.
