Halloween

Last night I had a small Halloween (here it is pronounced HALLoween) party for my roommates and some friends. They don't really do Halloween here in Spain, so it was fun to show my roommates how we celebrate it.

I bought a calabaza (pumpkin), so we made a Jack-o-lantern and roasted some pumpkin seeds. Mary was so excited - "It's just like a movie!" she said (in Spanish). Then we colored Halloween pictures and Mary made some paper chains for decorations.

We also had fun coming up with costumes. I went as a zebra, Ashley was a cat, Mary and Saray used their scrubs and my face paint to become "zombie nurses," and Juan went as a sunburnt tourist.

When the rest of my friends came over, a full-out dance party broke out. Juan played DJ, and we had a great time dancing and drinking "pocion de calabaza" (orange soda) and "sangre" (sangria).
