Alebrijes en Reforma

Alebrijes, there is an exposition in one of the main streets here, and it's between my house, and work, they made some Alebrijes (are brightly colored Mexican folk art sculptures of fantastical creatures) There were some cool ones, and some that really were not put to a lot of effort. We strolled down as we walked to get some yummy Pozole... and the DIET! ups! yes we are less then the month away....

The Eagle is going to grab me by the head!!

Mi cousin Esteban, his wife Adriana and baby Lilia!

Halloween

Halloween! a scary Time! Here in the office people love Halloween, so we entered for 2nd time the contest and we WON! We were a Hospital, there was blood, and body parts (fake of course) all over the place! we had a black light, and a strobe light! ohh yes, now you see why we won. I took my nice trick or treating, here at the offices, she got a LOT of candy, and was dressed as a Dragon.
On the 1st is when people here go out trick or treating... Joaquin dressed ups as Chicky Bicentenario, since everything here is Bicentennial... hahaha... I actually got some candy, and was apparently very famous, every one wanted pictures, with the Mexican Chucky, Mariachi Chicky, Chukote... many names! We had some guayaba, and jam tamales, they were good, with some atole, ohh yes, DIET so close to the wedding!! ahhh.
Here are some pictures, enjoy....

Tepotzotlan

Day of the Dead! I love this day, skull, remembering loved ones, and special delicious bread! yummy!
Well we went to see the "Ofrenda" that is put up on this special time at tepotzotlan, it's famous, and really big, the town is a "Magical Town" there are about 10 towns like this in Mexico. Very Colonial.
The church has gold all over the inside. It used to be a Convent, and now is a museum.
It was Joaquin, and Samuel's (15 days old baby) 1st visit to this Magical Town.
