In Multiva Baja (where the Veldts live) the Spanish kids actually go trick-or-treating. The first year they moved there, there were not very many, but each year the amount of kids has grown. Also, the kids come to the Veldt's because they know that they give out candy. I guess some kids do go trick-or-treating in Madrid as well, but I know not all do. It is not a Spanish tradition; they borrow it from the Americans.
Sorry about not having Andrea in the pictures. Since I took all of the pictures during the Halloween party, she isn't there. Andi can't handle big crowds, so she was upstairs. I'll do a better job next time!!

This week was short, since I spent Monday in Pamplona. This only meant that I had to pack what normally fits Monday-Friday into four days. A woozy! Here's a summary.
The bad:
Tuesday turned into Monday.
Getting home at 9:15 pm.
Working on Friday.
Sleeping 6 hours Wednesday night.
Disrespectful kids who try to run away from the classroom during after-school program.
The good:
Pretending to be a robot with the kids.
Reading "How to Mail an Elephant" with students.
Eating dinner with Angelita's grandchildren Wednesday night.
Getting pay check for private English classes.
Finishing "Alica Through the Looking Glass" in Spanish.
Playing "sofa" and tennis wii with my small group.
Hiking at la Pedriza with Stephanie.
Climbing all over rocks like kids.
Following cow paths by the trail of dung.
Here's some photos of La Pedriza. Look at the photo of Stephanie. We climbed down the rocks behind her to get to the river. Call us adventurous (or reckless).
