Halloween!

Here is how my village has prepared for Halloween:

• there is squash for sale in the market
• there are dried corn husks everywhere
• there are orange and black chickens in my neighbors' compound
• there are bats in my family's well. Julia, my site-mate, says not to worry, the bats don't die in the well...but they probably poop there. So who knows whether I'm actually cleaning my clothes when I wash them.
