The legendary Halloween Party happened last night. In the big gym there was loud music, dancing and an array of costumes. I think people here might be the most resourceful because most were hand made. From someone actually dressed as Observation Hill complete with cross, to other’s wearing signs that read Stop and Go directing the traffic of people. I wore a mask, to join in on the fun, but that is where my creativity ended. Not much a costume designing individual. Others here had a great time, some went as Tetris pieces - four in fact that all fit together. Everywhere you looked you saw strange sites not even imagined in such a place. I even saw the Kiwis leave shaking their head and laughing. What must they think of our holiday tradition. Here are few of the costumes I caught:
The Pumpkin
The LineMan (She had professional help with this outfit)
Lush Lushesness
Side Note - A French Helicopter went down today on the Ice near the French Station. There were no survivors. For a while they couldn’t locate the plane, and then once it was located access was difficult. McMurdo and the Australian base are offering assistance as needed for removal and control of the situation. One of the large C130s is sitting on the runway ready should there be a call for it. Things like this remind me that death exists. Some how with isolation you began to believe you are untouchable being so far away from “everything.” - Here is a link to the full article : http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5htOAiBTRbqOgyDeYRZ0s3QtEC1mQ?docId=CNG.9b8bbffb03b7e10ee50f4577ecd4d93d.781
