We've enjoyed several functions sponsored by the US Embassy this year. Trick or treating house-to-house is a little hard in Windhoek, given the burglar bars and barking dogs in front of every house. So, the Embassy employees set up a Halloween function as a substitute.
We started at one home, where kids arrived in costume (and some adults). After the activities (see photos below), we left to drive to several other Embassy employees' houses. Kind of like a progressive dinner, but trick-or-treating. At a couple of the houses, the candy was handed out through the locked burglar bars, which was a little odd. But, everyone enjoyed the activity. The Embassy surely went to a lot of work to organize it.
Some photos below. More on the Picasa site.
Tristan spotted his costume in a local store.
Musical chairs to the tune of "Monster Mash".
Gwen and Annie (our fellow Fulbrighter family, the Bates') do some trick-or-treating at one of the Embassy homes. Burglar bars are still burglar bars, even if they've got cobwebs, eh?!
