Photo Updates: dia de los muertos

Today I took a 3 hour nap - for whatever reason I am exhausted!  After this post I'll be hopping on a trufi, in the rain, and heading to plaza principal for the Tuesday night homeless ministry.  Here is a quick update complete with photos (out of order because I don't have time to mess with that).  :)

Also, you may see photos of Dia de Los Muertos.  This is a day that the catholics believe that the sky is opened and the deceased come down for a celebration.  So the family members set out food and candy for the deceased to feast on.  We went this past Saturday with a good friend to see his family celebrate it.

Walk with me - Lecrae  IT IS POURING.  I wish I could video this for you all, it's awessommme.  I get to go walk around the city in this.  o yays.

this past sunday I went to a soccer game.   Learned a lot of new cuss words in Spanish

I LOVE cotton candy.  So glad they sell it in this country too, and for much cheaper!

crazy weird house huh?  And random

They gave me grape juice that tasted like wine to try: I took out the dead bugs when I drank it - had to finish it all, cultural
