Halloween in Rome

Halloween's not a very big deal here; I saw about five children dressed up, three as witches and two with those Scream masks-- really the only costumes to be found in Italy. Apparently, as more Americans relocate here, it's becoming a bigger holiday, but right now, there are no haunted houses, trick-or-treating, or crazy parades to be found.

But, I did go to a party, although I didn't dress up. It was a potluck, and who was bringing what wasn't super coordinated, so there were about six salads and no entrees... Thank goodness I brought homemade apple crumble with panna cotta gelato to balance all of the healthy greens!

This pic from the party is of me, and two other grads-- Dennis and Marco. (Dennis is dressed as a hipster.)
