So yesterday was Halloween, which is a big deal at home and I loved seeing all of the costumes on facebook... but what is it like in Spain?
Well first off, on Friday Aisha, Alice and I went to school dressed up for halloween just for the kids, and they loved it. I got to tell a cute witch story to the five year old classes, and draw little halloween pictures on their hands, which they loved. But we were pretty much the biggest deal for halloween at school.
So on Saturday we watched some Halloween movies and loaded up on candy. Then we got all dressed up and at about 9ish we went to this restaurant near our flat that had a halloween drink special. While were were walking there we actually saw some kids trick or treating! It broke our hearts because we had candy in the flat to give out, but had already left. So we get there... and we were the only ones. But its fine, I mean four english girls attract enough attention, this was nothing new, and we actually gave the place some business which was good for them.
After that we went into the city which was having some special event for halloween which is cool, even though we pretty much missed it. But because of that there were a ton of people dresses up in the bars and we didn't feel so out of place. However, my head was killing me and no one was really feeling being out so we went home around 1:15... that may sound late, but Spanish people stay out till 6am so it actually was very early.
All in all, I think Halloween would have been fun here if I hadn't had such a bad headache and just felt like crap. I was disappointed that I had to leave, but it made it better that Aisha, Alice, and Klaudia (our new British friend) were just as ready to leave as I was.
So thats halloween in a small Spanish town for ya.
Tomorrow I am going to Granada, so get ready for some stories and a ton of pictures coming soon!
Hasta luego!
