AN EXPAT HALLOWEEN

Although the costumes screamed "procrastinating American parents who no longer have access to Amazon Prime and scavenged around for anything that could possibly resemble a butterfly and ninja," Halloween was a success. 

True that it's not yet October 31, but our Spanish celebration is already on the books. The expat community hosted a huge trick-or-treating event in our neighborhood on Wednesday night, complete with imported Starbursts and Smarties. The kids enjoyed collecting candy and the parents enjoyed stealing it after they went to bed.

The early celebration accommodated the upcoming 4-day weekend (November 1 is All Saints Day), when many families are headed out of town. We'll be flying to Mallorca tomorrow to enjoy a few 75-and-sunny days on the beach!
