We went to Ken and Paulette's for Halloween they had about 150 kids and some adults show up at the door looking for treats. We are not sure but we think going door to door for treats is a new thing here in Mexico. This is the time of the year that they honor their dear and departed by going to the cemetaries and leaving items that they feel thier loved ones would like to have in the here after. Some just leave flowers, others leave clothes, foot wear,musical items, food and tools. We have heard that some people really believe that thier loved ones recieved the items as they do disappear. We do not know if workers at the cemeteries pick the stuff up, or if the really poor just go in and take it. But everything that could be used is gone in a few days. Here are some photos of the kids and adults that came by for candy.
