Halloween

Sometimes when there aren’t a lot of options for entertainment, things are talked up a bit more than they should. I was concerned this might be the case for the Halloween party, but I sure was wrong! We arrived at Jebel Lodge and were greeted with the world premier of a Turkish pepper flavored vodka and went inside to find at least 250 members of the international community dressed in wide-range of costumes. I went in a grease monkey suit that was orange and looked a bit like I had escaped prison, but there were a lot of great costumes there that evening. Perhaps the most shocking was my friend who works as the Stabilization Advisor for the UK. He was in a silver sequined dress with a black curly wig and I stood within 5 feet of him for 5 minutes before he finally said something to me and I realized it was him! We were out til curfew and had a lot of fun dancing that night.
