Translation of breeches in Spanish

Last weekend some friends of mine and I took a trip to the North-West of Massachussets to see the leaves which have changed their colors. All over the world people talk about the autumn in Boston.
I told them that in Europe not everything was perfect. I told them that there were also very dark times in that continent and that even in peaceful times live was not always easy as they had thought.
We had coffee, played cards and waited for our guide. We had booked the tour with Handspan, so that we were confident that he would show up. In the end the guide was a 'she' and not a 'he'.
