Who can give up Halloween? Even if you're half way across the globe in a continent that thinks you're saying heroine when you say halloween. Rwandans don't really know what Halloween is and we probably looked crazy dressing up in random costumes, roaming the streets of Kigali. But we decided to do it anyways. And it turns out, a Rwandan friend who has had plenty of exposure to us muzungus, decided to throw a "heroine party" - to our delight, we showed up and we were the only ones in costume. Oh well...
We did in style though. Norah and Matt were retrostyle geeky basketball players, while I chose the more modern gangta bball playa look.
The family pose - my friend Nancy was visiting for the weekend so she got to enjoy the madness with us
We went the whole nine yards and even bought a pumpkin. Our Rwandan friend Joel carved it. Looks pretty awesome eh?
We bought candy and ate that too. It's not the same as Halloween in Canada, but it'll do. It was definitely worth the extra stares we got!!
