Halloweening in Lima

Well… who’d a thunk that they’d celebrate Halloween in Peru?  Not me.  Well, sure enough, they do.  Actually, I think the whole thing is pretty much straight up imported.  Nonetheless, the streets were full of little kids in all kinds of costumes.  We all got together and made the rounds together.

Pretty much the only discernable difference is that the usual yelling of “Trick-or-Treat!” is replaced by screeches of “Halloweeeeeeen!”

Although completely last minute, I think the boys “Incredibles” costumes turned out pretty much awesome.  However, next time you’re needing a genuine super hero mask and all you have are some Sponge Bob goggles and you find yourself planning to spray paint them black about 2 hours before trick-or-treating, you might want to reconsider.  On the way to the Thompsons’ house we looked back and Jake had fallen asleep with black spray paint all over his face and in his sleep had drooled all over his Incredibles logo.

Oh, well… what’s the point of being 3 if you can’t get paint on your face and drool in your sleep and never know the difference?
