Last night we enjoyed a date night in DC and the National Gallery Night Trick or Treat themed event. It was great to get out for the evening and see the National Gallery of Art East Wing, people in costumes, the DJ, and performers. It felt like pre-COVID times, and was nice to take in an adult night out in the city. We don't do that in DC often enough.

| Maria Jesus Vasquez, about 1895. |
My 2nd-great-grandmother, Maria Jesus Vasquez, was born on 1 October 1866 in Pitiquito, Sonora, Mexico. The photo above is likely from around 1895, with her husband Vicente Campuzano (previously shared in August 2015) and two children (probably Maria Jesus Campuzano and Vicente Campuzano Jr.). The photo was colorized using with Ancestry's photo technology.

The wonderful Albertina Museum in Vienna has opened a trove of digital images for its vast holdings, such as the scan above from its poster collection. I have been lucky to have visited the Albertina twice, in 2011 and 2015. The image above is by Henrick Cassiers, showing Grand Place in Brussels, where I'll staying in November.

Above is another shot from my excursion to Batu Caves Temple in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I was in Singapore and Malaysia for two weeks this month, one of my longest trips in quite some time.
