Reunion: Halloween Style

This last week was absolutely amaz(on)ing. One of our good friends, Friend J, from Ecuador was in SF for a visit in after attending a conference in New Mexico. This marks the first (of hopefully many) visits to the US and I'm so glad she was able to make it to CA. Since I was out of town for the weekend I missed the big Minga reunion, but I did get to hang out with her for a day before she flew out.

Poor thing was sick, so we didn't do too much, but I did want to give her the chance to experience a very American tradition: Pumpkin Carving! Friend R came over and we grabbed some Ramen (what's better for a cold?), listened to some Enrique and got to carving. 

Of course, she totally rocked it for her first time and created a cool moon, which she said reminder her of the jungle. It was so much fun, I hadn't carved a pumpkin in a long time.

They turned out so great! Happy Hallowen!
