Halloween, St. Lucian style...

YOU! He's going to eat YOU! Below: Donovan in his scary Halloween T-shirt. So, Halloween is celebrated here, but I don't think anybody can compete with Americans when it comes to "doing it up" for this holiday in particular. I saw a few teenagers dressed up on the Tube going to a costume party, and some candy in the stores, but no trick-or-treaters or pumpkins really and not too much of the usual orange and black/candycorn extravagance. In some ways (like in the case of Halloween), Americans take things to a whole new level-this can be good and bad. Back to Halloween: Kati and I chose to accompany Donovan to a dress-up (hence the fancy, plastic, 99pence masks we are wearing for a pic below) Halloween party put on by his friends (mostly from St. Lucia). Donovan has the habit of boasting about how St. Lucians can party like noone else and blah blah blah...anyway, turns out, he's right! (don't let it go to your head, buddy). There was music and dancing and sweating and decorations and costumes and music and dancing and soon it was 5am...and I woke up the next day with bite marks on my face, a tattoo, and a hangover. Just kidding about the tattoo. Good times. Hope everyone had a wonderfully SPOOKY Halloween!! By the way, it's getting COLD here!
