noche de brujas (a chilean halloween)

Who knew that Chileans celebrated Halloween (or "Night of Witches," as the Spanish directly translates to)?

Well apparently, they do. Quinn and her host sister threw a Halloween party at their house on Saturday night.

Quinn dressed up as a Super 8, a popular Chilean candy bar that's similar to a Kit-Kat.

Caitlin and Jessa were a piscola -- the classic Chilean mixed drink that consists of pisco and coke. (Notice the emerging theme of gringas using costumes to prove how well they know Chilean culture! We've been here over two months and we're pros by now.)

I was fome (boring) and didn't have a super creative costume like my cool friends. But the point of this picture is to demonstrate the excellent party decorations in the background: instead of going trick-or-treating, we could just grab the candy that was taped to the windows.

Chilenos and gringas all love Halloween!
