halloween

I’ve been my best to be a good girl and stay in San Ramon…but along came Halloween. Some of the volunteers in Copan Ruinas (about 3 hours by bus) organized a full weekend of fun for Halloween. The costume party was Saturday night and I have to say that I saw some really great costumes…considering we’re in Honduras, where the holiday is not celebrated (well, minus ex-pats and fresas) people really showed their creative streak.

Here is a short list of costumes:
-Britney Spears and Kevin Federline
-A bottle of Coca-Cola
-Steve Irwin, complete with stuffed crocodile
-J-Lo in the famous Versace dress
-A pila
-Campesina woman, smoking and breastfeeding child
-Napoleon Dynamite, complete with Vote for Pedro t-shirt
-Heidi from Tool Time, from Home Improvement
-Luke Skywalker
-Braveheart
-A guy wearing a helmet with tampons and pantyliners all over his shirt (menstrual cyclist)
-Flava Flav with clock around neck

I was unoriginal and was a cat…though later on in the evening I was telling people that I was Hobbes (thank you Crystal) or quoting “Wedding Crashers”, “call me kitty cat”. But I just rocked cat ears and my friend drew whiskers on my face. Lots of guys were rocking skirts at the party (so sexy!) and it was just a great time. We were out dancing most of the night (a live band played “Paseme la botella”, a song that I never could imagine live). It was nice to forget about the problems I have in San Ramon, talk to my friends, speak English, and just chill.

Such a great party…I’ll sum it up simply by quoting one of my favorite shows, Entourage, “Great night. Great fucking night.”
