happy halloween!

halloween is a big deal in sayulita because it comes the day before the dia de los muertos and also marks the unofficial start of the tourist season. this evening there were festivities in the plaza with all kinds of costumed people running around getting hopped up on beer and refined sugar. brenda whipped up great last minute devil costumes this afternoon and we terrorised the plaza with our fearsome appearance.

it was really fun hanging out in the plaza. we’ve been here long enough that we can just go to public gatherings and find people to hang out with. i guess that’s the plus of living in such a small town.

the best costume of the evening goes to the most gigantic eight month old i have ever seen, which is saying something because mexican babies can be BIG. this dude was dressed as a mummy and sucking furiously on a lollipop. my favourite bit was his belly fat bulging through the bandages. awesome.
