Ten minutes later Scatty had landed her broomstick on the edge of the quayside, right next to the rather classy boat, as the two of them stood up and looked at each other and grinned; a moment later, the old one, appeared from the boat and took off his cap, ‘ship-ahoy,’ he said, ‘I’m the Captain!’ – and of course, the red-head woman was beaming now.
Scatty and the red-head woman quickly got into the big boat as the other two – Joan and Francis – were ready to cast off.
‘So what are we doing..?’ – ‘well, we already know about pumpkins, ghouls, ghosts and whatnot, but we thought it would be really good to try the Day of the Dead?’ – ‘oh hold on, grab the phone.’
‘Sail past Cuba and continue to sail to Cancun, and beyond – that’s Mexico, by the way,’ said the two gargoyles who were explaining on their smartphone from Paris, as they were shouting, as usual – ‘you see we’re part of the travel agency on the website now, and it is going rather well – okay that should be fine, we will send all the details with the WhatsApp thing… off and out,’ as they giggled.
‘So it’s going to be great and no one would have any idea that most of us are vampires – such fun, don’t you think?’ as the old vampire began to dance.
Not far now – we’ll take the broomsticks and fly to Mexico City – oh, of course, you should visit Frida Kahlo’s museum… definitely!

By the way, your mention of the Day of the Dead is actually a Catholic ceremony to remember the losses, as it is a holiday here in Germany today.
Happy Halloween! 🎃💖

I knew some of that, but not that Germany has a holiday. Interesting.💞
Of course, here it’s spring🌻 and we don’t see much about pumpkins, ghouls and ghosts!!🎃👻😂

I remember the Day of the Dead (All Saints Day) festivities in Cuernavaca, Mexico, not far from Mexico City. The cane sugar candies shaped like a skull still come to mind after many decades.
