October...ish...

October was a good month, since I covered it a little already, I will focus on my favorite part of it, HALLOWEEN!

Ok ok, it has nothing to do with my internship at all. But this blog is about my entire trip and not just the school portion now isn't it? My blog, my rules, deal already.

Halloween in Lahaina is quite impressive. There is nothing quite like it unless you live in say New York, or Madison WI, but i digress.

The entire front street is shut down, making aproximately 8 city blocks turned from busy street, to...well it is still busy but with foot traffic instead of the rolling kind. The local stations interview people live, and since its Hawaii, there are a lot of "interesting" costumes. Lets check out the still frame replay.

Here we see a Husband and wife going as a Matador and a bull. I didn't get to talk to them much, but it looked like all was in fun.












And here, is thing 1 and thing 2, they were about most of the night causing mild mischief, but rest assured their shenanigans were all in fun.











Here we have Darth Maul. This guy definitly put some time and work into his costume. Since I only had my camera phone the picture isn't as good as it could be but trust me, that mask was flawless.









And finaly, we have Leeloo from 5th element. She was a very popular person that night. Everyone wanted her picture and complimented her on the creativity of her costume. Oh come on, get yer mind out of the gutter!










So that was Halloween in Hawaii, wish i could be here for it next year but, alas I may have to settle for the slightly more fridged Halloween of Madison. I think I'll get over it.
