Courtyard purgatory! That sounds like a nightmare. I was in a similar position once and my issue was that I didn't have my cell phone with me and so there was no way to contact my friend who was at home on the other side of the gate waiting for my call... I can't remember in which story Lucia wrote about Dia de Los Muertos and said that the Mexican side of the family made an ofrenda for the Magruder side that included tiny Ku Klux Klan figures, as I recall. !!
