“Tri co tri”: Our first Halloween in the US many years ago

Another Halloween and another time to remember our first Halloween in the US.

We had been in the US about 6 weeks when Halloween came up on the calendar.

My Uncle Orlando and family explained what night was all about.  They told us to put on a costume, walk around and say “trick or treat”.

We followed his advice and got lots of candy.  Our mother came along to help our little sister who was dressed up as Cinderella.  My brother and I went as makeshift “vaqueros”.

It was a wonderful night.

My favorite part of Halloween was hearing my mother say “trick or treat”.   It sounded a lot like “tri co tri”.
