Halloween is around us...

Halloween is around us, and the excitement is in the Bogotá air.
Walking through the grey wet cobble stone streets up at the large buildings, watching the beautiful people walk by with great luminous eyes, you can catch a glimpse of the jack-o-lantern in the store window.
Candies are sold at every street corner, and the next shop has costumes with printout faces of the Gerber baby for the manikin.
It brings great joy that i will not miss one of my favorite pagan holidays on this trip. i am very excited to be in Bogotá; the city reminds me of a busy European city filled with fashion, culture and attitude. Being the only blond in a town of 3 million, i am able to catch glimpses of the locals. i sneak in a sweat smile and look for a response...the majority being an open glaze of two brown piercing eyes. Although beauty is definitely the norm around Bogotá Colombia, i am only adding one picture with this Halloween special blog...it is the beautiful spook-tacular little dino called Elaina...my niece.
