To celebrate Halloween some of the girls of Casa Study Abroad decided to go to the Samhain Parade on the other side of the city. It was an interesting experience. There were giant skeletons, a band and people all dressed up as ghouls. In addition, there were what looked like giant skeleton fish boats in the river. The parade took place after dark to add to the scare factor. We were able to get a spot right on the road so we could see everything. There were children trying to scare us by running up to us and screaming, and people dressed up as wolves, and we just had a generally great time.
After the parade had passed, we went to the house of a Dutch friend of ours where we had traditional Dutch pancakes. Unlike American pancakes, they had pieces of ham in them with melted cheese on top. Very good.
Now it's Monday and back to work, but good weekend overall.
those things are pretty cool. I've tried to make thinks out of packing taped, but never that ambitious.
ReplyDeleteThat looks pretty cool. The pancakes sound pretty tasty!
