Happy New Year

Went for a little walk down to the market on New Year's Eve to stock up on some essentials like mangoes and bananas.

It was mayhem as everyone else was stocking up on their essentials....12 grapes to eat at midnight to bring good luck for the new year,

yellow underwear or red depending on what you're hoping for in the new year,

a mask for your paper person to burn at midnight to farewell the year that has been, and fireworks galore.

From our place we had a good view of fireworks all over the city and little bonfires up and down the street and across the valley as people lit their Año Viejos to jump over.

Happy New Year to you!
