A few Sundays ago we Americans managed to throw together a small Halloween party in a country that definitely does not celebrate Halloween. In the absence of Halloween stores and costume shops, we went to our supermarket Marjane and did some old-school improvising. Costumes included butterflies, superheroes, host siblings, hippies and a hanoot. We planned to start the festivities here at the clc at 4:00pm. We waited at our stations, disappointed that no one was there, until we remembered that this is Morocco, and people don't show up until at least thirty minutes after something starts. When they did, we had a blast. Games included bobbing for apples, mummy wrapping (oddly this was probably the most expensive game, toilet paper ain't cheap), and mystery food feeling. The pictures below are of a game we invented. It was supposed to be eat a donut off a string, but the Moroccan version is Hobz eating off a line. It was great to share an American holiday with our Moroccans friends and remind ourselves of home.
