Last night, as we inched our way past parked cars, and streams of children rushing from house to house, James worried about candy.
"Will there be any left? Are we too late?" he asked, prepared to leap from his seat the moment I turned off the car. Caroline, deep into her role as Hermione the defender of reason, answered him before I could. "Now then, even if they're out of candy, at least the houses will be decorated." Her British accent was perfect.
To the kids' delight, the houses were not only decorated, but still full of sweets. Many thanks once again to the families in Nebusice for opening their doors to the hordes of candy loving children in Prague, and making many an American feel that, just for an evening, they'd headed home for Halloween.

so awesome when the holidays work, even in a foreign country! :)
Wonderful, love the street scene, I can almost smell it!
Liz - you're right, and they're particularly fun with kids!
Lucy - it was a perfect Halloween night, chilly but not freezing and the air was full of the tannic smell of fall leaves.
