Happy Halloween

Halloween is celebrated at the girls' school because it is an American curriculum school. They actually did more than we usually do in the states. The elementary started out the day with a big costume parade that the middle school also got to see. When they trick or treated to other classrooms. And then in the afternoon each class had a party. Elle's class had a pizza and movie party. The middle school had a 90 minutes party with music, dancing, games and a costume contest. It was all very nice.

Then on Friday, Halloween day, which is the weekend here, all the kids in our compound trick or treated to the houses within the compound (which is only 11 villas). Larry took Elle and a neighbor around the block but they only found one house participating. Dani went to a party at a friend's house from school. They big group of them went trick or treating in that neighborhood where most villas did participate. It all depends on where the neighbors are from. While Halloween is an American holiday many westerners will participate if they remember that it is Halloween.

Also there is one costume shop in town and many of the grocery stores sell a few costumes as well.

Here are a few pictures from our Halloween adventures.
