more preparations for our San Miguel de Allende trip

Our trip to San Miguel de Allende is this month! We're so excited to spend Dia de los Muertos with our student/friends and to teach them to create their own Libro de Ofrendas.

Jane LaFazio here, and I'm decorating the goodie bags for our students.
   

I'm using these new Liquitex spray paints and they are terrific!

Halloween in San Miguel de Allende

Jan Davis, is a wonderful photographer and friend of Tesoro del Corazon. She went to San Miguel de Allende with us last year, and created this beautiful book of photos from her experience. 

She wrote to tell us this, about our upcoming trip for Dia de los Muertos:

"You may already know this, but one very fun and sweet thing to do in San Miguel de Allende on Halloween is sit in the jardin and hand out candy to the trick or treaters. The jardin is PACKED with lots of activity, The majority of folks that hand out candy are expats...and the locals bring their children all dressed up with their trick or treat bags. The past three years my brother and I have brought our father down to San Miguel and this is his favorite activity during the day of the dead."
