Dead people, tragically young, arrived at my office door to make sure I didn't miss a thing of the big night.
They weren't scary like Halloween ghouls back home. They were quite friendly and very charming. The problem is that, just like in the movies, their sheer numbers can be overwhelming and before you know it,
you've been overrun. Luckily for me, everyone left peacefully without taking a single bite. They even left a gift of candy instead of the other way around.
The big night arrived.
The living and the dead hung out and had a good time.
I didn't know any of the dead personally but I think several must have been very closely related to some of my students.
The lighting wasn't conducive for photography and the dead don't photograph very well but I managed to get a few good shots.
For some, the fun continued on a parade downtown. It was starting off too late for me on a school night so I pushed on to skip a weary dawn of the dead.

This year we had guided walking tours open to the public.
