You? Jeesh, never! You did the Camino de Santiago walk - I would have never have pulled that baby off! You are probably more of a viking that I could ever be, te he he! As for snow - yes! It was a strange and surreal feeling to experience it this early. I visited my grandparents for the Halloween weekend and even though they live some three hours away from me in the lush Swedish woods - it's rare that it snows that early there. I am a coastal person, I live right by the sea and the beaches. Hence my interest in Barcelona. Soo umm, expat hangouts? Are there a lot of Americans in Spain or are you pretty much the only one there? Hah! Weakling? You? Jeesh, never! You did the Camino de Santiago walk – I would have never have pulled that baby off!

Mostly the expat hangouts organize parties. Man, snow. I'm a weakling from Northern California where we don't do very cold or very hot, I'm really glad it doesnt snow here :) Nah, Halloween is mainly an import here – that’s why people looked at me funny, they’re not really used to thinking “oh, right, it’s a day people dress up crazy.” Mostly the expat hangouts organize parties.

And here I was, thinking that you always go around dressed in the 'stars and stripes in Madrid - doh! ;) Do Spaniards actually celebrate Halloween like you do in the US or are did they like us Swedes get infected by the ultra commercial Halloween bug some 10 years back? My Halloween weekend included snow! Which was crazy seeing we never see any snow in southern Sweden until after New Years eve! Nice one!
