This past weekend I made it back to Salamanca and it was a beautiful trip. Everyone in the residencia was much friendlier and on Friday they had their own little Halloween party. Jake and I dressed up as Smurfs. He painted his entire body blue, his hands to his ears. Then painted on a white beard and claimed to be Papa Smurf (Papa Petufa in Spanish). I just wore a white t-shirt and simple skirt with blue leggings underneath, then painted my arms and face blue. The paint was a mess, I should have figured (it was the only thing Jake could find). I think it was oil based because it came off on the walls and other people and everything we touched, but not in the shower...perfect. When we went out of the residencia to the Plaza Mayor, we saw all the spanish costumes and they were good. There was not as much variety and cleverness as I usually see in the States, but there were lots of the scary costumes, even on the girls! It was a legit Halloween. All the Spaniards loved Jake's costume and he was stopping left and right to get his picture taken with strangers, I just stood on the side and let him do his thing. The next day, we were both a light shade of green.
On a different note...my senora picked up a new phone today and while Ashley and I were eating dinner, she sat down at her house phone, called her cell phone and had us listen to her new ring tone. Her phone does go off pretty often when she is around and it was so funny to hear that her new ring tone...is a roaster crow. She said that when she was out today and her phone went off, she acted like it was not hers. Its going to be muy divertido (very fun) to hear that go off randomly during the day.
