The magic is the decorations, the excitement, the concerts and activities, little girls with bows the size of their heads in their hair, and monster dolls and giants roaming the streets with plaster faces that will no doubt give me nightmares.
The reality is too many people in the streets. Over crowding. Hunger. Confusion. And chaos.
Nothing quite like having to get home in time to meet your friends, leaving your family in the plaza and getting to feed yourself dinner, especially when you're home alone, and can shove half a loaf of bread, smothered in the butter they neverrrrr use with some Toledo cheese down your throat.
Ahhhh Corpus Christi in Toledo.
Bread, butter and cheese - works for me :)
