Cultural Tidbit

Here and pretty much all of Central and South America, Good Friday is celebrated much more than Easter. Everything is closed on Friday and people don't like to leave their house because they think it is a sin. But Sunday is back to business as usual. Very different.

Also, I asked if it was customary to buy a new dress or outfit for Easter. When they looked at me strange after I asked, I thought either my spanish was so bad that they thought I asked if you buy a new dog for Easter or they just don't have that custom. Turns out it is not their custom.

And they don't have a stitch of Easter goodies here. Like coloring to color eggs, no plastic eggs and no candy! How are you supposed to celebrate Easter without all that. Just kidding, we did just fine. They girls were very flexible and they were so grateful for all that we did. Sweet things (the girls).
