Ike and I get all ready for a party in Friedrichstein on Halloween night. . . costume, face paint, the works. Its only natural on the 31st of Oktober, when youve been doing it your whole life. We leave the house, and for every 200 people we see, we see 1 person who is also partaking in such event- We had so many looks and glances in our direction. "they must be American"- is what all of the Berliners were thinking.... and with my red white and blue costume, there was no doubting that was where I was from.
This is Ellie- she is one of 5 of the kids I babysit here- I dont like babysitting all that much, nor am I even that fond of children, but its tax free- i dont need a permit to work, and it gives me time to work on school stuff or rosetta stone :)- so i say babies and diaper changing will do until schools out!
