It was not a dark and stormy night - that would have created
more atmosphere - and Halloween was celebrated one night early in Akumal, and
the party at La Buena Vida drew a wild and crazy assortment of characters and
costumes to celebrate and have fun. Needless to say, an
abso-looootely mmmmmmmaahhhhh-vellloussss time was had by all, as
evidenced by the enclosed photos.

The party started at the Lol Ha beach bar where Loquito was the usher. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First stop was the graveyard. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And it was full of huge tarantulas and spiders. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And, one dead soul was dying - or had died - to go along to Buena Vida. |
