So we are back to work after a lovely long weekend off to celebrate el día de los difuntos (day of the dead). Joaquin will have a longer blog up in a few days to give you all full details of our weekend adventures, in the meantime enjoy these photos.
Two of our English students and friends, Ivo and Ismael, brought us colada morada and guaguas de pan, the traditional food for the day of the dead (roughly translates to purple drink and baby bread)
Colada morada, a delicious fruit drink that is also very filling. We couldn't finish the huge pot of colada that our guests brought.
Gathering around as Christian explains to us that since we didn't finish all of the colada morada we were doomed to be visited by the dead in our sleep... and no one slept well in the Manna house that night.
Note: These photos (and most of the photos I use in this blog) were taken by Nicole Hamilton. Gracias Nicole!
