Hope all you Americans had a fun Halloween! Although Halloween is not traditionally celebrated in Mexico, globalization has brought the concept of trick-or-treating to Mexican children. What kid can resist free candy? We came across these cuties trick-or-treating last night.
As many Mexican adults have not embraced the American tradition of dressing in costumes on October 31, there are very limited costumes available for purchase. This forces adult costume enthusiasts to get creative. Being way more right-brained than left-brained, we were a bit intimidated. But thanks to some inspiration from our Halloween fanatic friend Heather (aka Marilyn Monroe), and the creative genius of Heather and Sarah (aka Carmen Miranda), we made some pretty cool pirates. As you can see, the pirate theme turned out to be quite popular!
See our Halloween gallery for more pictures.
Holy Cow! Definitely some scary scenes there! Looks like you had a blast, as usual! Hope all is well!
