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.

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