Every year there are busloads of kids from TJ that trick-or-treat in our neighborhood here in Santee - they are always the most polite kids and we enjoy them coming by. My wife Deb hands out full-size candy bars which makes ALL the kids very happy!

Lynda and I are shelling out some very fancy candy sticks she found right here in town to some really polite, scary little munchkins. Not too many this year but those who are trick or treating are going all out with the costumes.

In one of today's Ensenada's newspapers there was an entire page dedicated to Halloween in Ensenada! YIKES! They LOVE Halloween here! In the schools, all the kids dress in costumes, there is a big haunted house thing in Ensenada, and there were pix (in the paper) of the local establishments that were decorated for Halloween...NOT Dia de los Muertos, but Halloween! In fact, the woman who cuts my hair...and she GREW UP in Ensenada....never knew about Dia de los Muertos until her daughter went to school. There was this thing about teaching the kids about "Mexican customs..." She still hasn't been to a cemetary (EVER!)

Was it here on BajaNomad? If so, I will delete it.

Well, I didnt' see even one kid in costume out on the streets tonight here....definately NOT a big thing. There is a costume night at the disco tomorrow though and an All Saints Day celebration tomorrow night in front of Bajaboys place...the new cultural center...with food booths and entertainment. We may throw a few horshoes before we go for munchies.
By the way, Bajaboybaby is really slaying all the baby girls here with those blue eyes, and the moms and tias too...he's a real famous kid cruisin the town in his stylin stroller.

I stand corrected on my spelling ! The facts remain. And Bajaguy, you know about whom I am speaking!

bajaguy - 10-31-2008 at 09:27 PM

Yeah.....a real hottie!!!

Dia de los muetros is more of a mainland/southern Mexico thing. IMO Baja is just a little outside some of the cultural beliefs and ties that the rest of Mexico shares.. this is not a bad thing.. its is just a different thing! It's Baja.. (think Hawaii or Alaska to the lower 48)

Here is a picture of our humble shrine from last year. I now much prefer Dia de los muertos. To me it is a beautiful day; but, also very sad. This last year my mother passed away so it means much more to me now.



best costumes tonight:

Sally,

This picture was of our shrine from last year. It was actually from before my mother passed away. Her shrine is much more simple this year.. just a picture of her, some flowers, a candle, and a glass of white wine - which she enjoyed.

In the photo I posted we used Marigold floweres, Pan del Muerto (upper left - an offering), white candles (to guide the spirits), candy (for the spirits of the children), etc..

A trail of flower pedals is left from the door to the shrine to lead to spirits to it. (In fact, last year while i was on Baja Nomad.. our front door flew open by itself (the only time this has ever happened!))


Also, maybe not pictured.. a cup of Tequilla, a pack of cigarettes, and a few toys for children.

Copal (pine sap) incense is burned, and.... well my fiance told me it is not good to take/eat the candy.. which I love to do. We also had chocolate candy skulls with the names of dececed family members and friends glued to their foreheads. The painting in the background was one of my first oil paintings that depited the heat/hell of Mexicali during summer.

Oh no... you didn't... Ken.

Oh, yes, you did.

My band opened for the Misfits twice back in the early '80s, when Glenn Danzig was still their singer. I must say though, they are as good or better w/o him.

Going to see the Damned & Adolescents Saturday night at the House of Blues in San Diego. Got free tickets because my buddy's nephew is the touring guitarist for the Adolescents, and we know the band from ancient times (At this point, should they not call themselves the "Fat and Bald Middle Agers?" Tony Cadeana is a friggin' high school teacher).

Anyhoo, Ken, thanks for the Halloween video.

Halloween was very quiet in Rosarito. In years past we would get 100 local kids and about 500 tijuaneros packed like shriner clowns into minivans.

This year we only had about 150 total. When it became apparent the kids weren't coming out in big numbers- we doubled up on the candy so the ones that did venture out had a good time! The parents we talked to in their cars all said the same thing- it's the lack of security.

And although the local police are trying to kedep everyone calm and the rumors down- telling adults they can't wear hallowen masks while out this year or risk arrest didn't really set a welcoming tone.
