    Halloween

    Halloween isn't much in Spain. They know what it is from American movies, but it still is rare that anyone is doing anything for it. One exception is the kid's school, who had a dress up day and then an afternoon party. The most interesting part of the festivities was that each grade was only give a choice of two types of creatures they could dress up as. My daughter could either be a vampire or a hunchback. My son could either be a mummy or a werewolf. The high schoolers were given a little more freedom. They could be any character from the Adams family.
    Of course Halloween is a national holiday from work. It is traditional in Spain to go and visit your dead relatives in the cemetery, but, with the day being a holiday, many people use it as an opportunity for a "grande noche". We missed the festivities and instead took the opportunity to tour a bit more of Europe.
