A weekend for the pious and the heretic both...


November 2, all saints day, the day of the dead, or however you call it, coincides with Halloween celebrations. It must all go back to the same thing, way back when, right? The point is that it gives us a long weekend, and with it cultural activities, high and low both.

The Maldonado Cathedral is offering a vocal/instrumental ensemble concert with a Bach repertoire (see poster above).

Meanwhile, Il Belvedere (Parada 29 of the Brava Beach, that hotel bungalows place) is hosting a grownups Halloween costume party on Saturday, Oct. 31, starting at 10 PM. Tickets are only being presold, no tickets at the door, so call Ileana at zero nine nine eight one one seven seven seven. Admission is UYU500 and buys you unlimited drinks (of what kind I don't know) and fingerfood, as well as a chance to enter costume contest to win unspecified prizes. Party on.

  1. Just a reminder that "Brujita" the black lab-mix, was adopted in Colonia (!) a couple of weeks ago... but "Willy" the black - 3-month old "barbilla"-mix is still up for adoption - He will be neutered, and then ready for adoption, in early November.

  2. Thanks Cristina, for the reminder. A couple of days ago we saw Fernando (he of the picture with the meat on the left) in Tienda Inglesa, looking skinnier, and happily escolting shoppers to their cars. He has the nicest disposition, and it was hard not to go out and kidnap him.
