Halloween in Boquete

Halloween isn't really a Panamanian event - they save dressing up in costume for Carnivale - but a lot of the gringos enjoy the holiday. Eight of us went to the Bistro Boquete for their Halloween dinner - dressed in a variety of costumes. Becky wore a feathered mask and Doug wore a jester's hat!

There was a DJ and some music after dinner and some dancing. Then our group headed to another restaurant that always does a Halloween party - Amigos. Amigos was really decorated up, pumpkins, lights and even a smoke machine. The band was way to loud to sit inside, but fortunately the rain let up and we could enjoy their outside patio and see all the other costumes. Some of them were really elaborate.

We saw a lot of people we knew (and recognized) and there were probably others there we couldn't see for their costumes!



It was a fun way to celebrate Halloween!
