Halloween 2007

It's catching on! Flashback ten years, and you wouldn't have found much to do with Halloween in Italy, but over the last few years it has proven to be a force to reckon with!

This year we saw more shops selling masks and simple costumes, or hanging decorations in their windows. I even saw a few kids headed to school in their costumes (I don't think you can even do that in America anymore)!

Since Chuckie was working, Isaac and I decided to get "decked" out with our limited resources and head to the Abbey to see what was going on. Since the moment Isaac arrived we've received nonstop comments about how alike we look. Not having much to work with in the way of costumes, we thought it would be best to take advantage of this fact, and just dress as each other for Halloween. Pretty, isn't he?

We met up with some friends at Abbey (A gangsta' and a Scottish fisher(wo)man). The pub was pretty busy, and there was a good amount of people actually wearing decent costumes! As Isaac would say, "We were stoked."

One of the best things about Halloween in Italy is that Nov. 1st is a national holiday (All Saint's Day), which means we don't have to work! So, regardless of the fact that Halloween landed on a Wednesday this year, we were able to stay out until all hours of the night without worry. America should adopt this holiday just for the sake of a worry-free Halloween night!
