Tradiciones

I've been quite a "ñoña" lately about missing little things...like for Halloween, do you think you would miss having trick-or-treaters, or carving pumpkins or drinking apple cider? Until you can't have something - you don't think you'll miss it. Last year I didn't miss it. This year...I missed it and tried to bring some of the silly Halloween traditions here to the DR.

Natan and I carved a very cute SQUASH, because we don't have pumpkins here :)...

We had a Halloween party at our house and Amanda (my roommate) and I dressed up as cats...

And of couse, to keep it DR style a little bit - we danced some Merengue :)...

It felt like Halloween, thanks to all my friends here that got dressed up and played along a little bit with the silly Halloween traditions that I was missing :).

My family is coming in less than 2 weeks for Thanksgiving, and I can't wait to bring some of the traditions down here for that. A little pumpkin pie, stuffing and mashed potatoes - I'm so excited! I also can't wait to spend time with them, to show them around my life here, to spend 4 days in an amazing beach house, to eat good food, drink good wine, and play some Bid Euchre :). The simple things are the beautiful things!

Cuidense todos...hasta la proxima!
