My American Dream: Halloween

Hi guys :) I know I'm the worst blogger you can possible imagine. Even though, I thought it might be a good idea to write in English, since it is faster and everything I experience is - of course - in English. So today is December 24th but I'll start with Halloween. Yes it's quite a while since October but who cares. Okay Americans and Halloween.. IT'S CRAZY! 3 weeks before, everybody ran to the stores and bought decoration, huge plastic ghosts and lots of candy. In some neighbourhoods it's like a competition what house is the scariest or the most decorated. Even in school we had dress up days and the teachers decorated their class rooms.

On Friday I didn't go to school because we went to Montana.

My host grandma lives there by herself in a cabin deeeeeeep in the forest. There is absolutely nothing around but trees. She has no phone service, no warm water and no electricity. But I definitely have to say that Montana is so beautiful! I've never seen a landscape like that.

We went trick or treating with our little sister. In Germany it's different but here a lot of High School students go. And for good reason. You get so much candy! Everybody was waiting behind their doors (or even in front of their doors to scare little kids) to hand out candy. Some people even made their own cookies or gave us hot cocoa. We stayed the whole weekend and played games and stuff.
