This weekend, we enjoyed some Halloween festivities. This particular American holiday is kind of a new thing in Spain, but there were enough activities going on to keep the boys busy and happy. They even sell pumpkins here, which is great. In Abidjan, our only option was to carve a watermelon. As you might be able to guess, James chose the costumes this year. Apparently he cares about protecting his secret identity more than Simon does.
Jay’s sister, Heather, is coming to visit next week with one of her friends. We’re excited to see her and to have an excuse to venture out and do some sightseeing. We’ve done a little, but are saving a lot of it for when we have visitors… otherwise we’ll end up seeing all of the Madrid sights a zillion times before we leave. Aside from the lack of humidity, the weather here has been sunny and awesome. Up until last week, the daily highs were in the 70s and 80s. Weather-wise, it seems like spring and autumn are good times to visit, just FYI.
