Halloween in Quepos!
When you
grow up living in the US, there is a certain excitement that comes around every
October as you await the 31st… Halloween; arguably the best holiday
ever. Costumes are prepared, candy bought, spider webs are intertwined with
orange and black paper rings and hung to decorate the house, scary stories are
told, and pumpkins are carved. Letting go of such an important holiday and all
of its incredible traditions was not an option for us here in Quepos. We were
determined to do Halloween to the best of our ability, whether the country had
pumpkins or not! So, after the candy
corn and assorted treats were demolished, we set to work.
First order
of business? Carving pumpkins… or Costa Rica style… carving watermelons! We
experimented for hours with our makeshift pumpkins, carving all kinds of faces
and designs.
And then it
was time for the final touches. Here in Quepos, we did Halloween in style as we
donned costumes and painted faces. Some scary, some silly, and some just plain
outrageous.
We are all
so blessed to be in Costa Rica, but let´s face it, there are some things from
your childhood that you can never let go of!
