Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
Friday, October 29, 2010
Tonight was A's first time to go trick-or-treating. The original plan was for her to dress up as Thomas the Tank Engine, but a last minute request to be a "girl engine" required a change in plans. One of the "secure" communities in UB sponsors a trick-or-treat evening, and I was only grateful that it wasn't too cold to be outside. This time last year I remember that it was much colder.
Yes, it was odd to be wandering around in Ulaanbaatar trick-or-treating. Houses were decorated with all manner of ghosts and ghouls and at least one werewolf answered the door when we knocked. A seemed to take much of it in stride.
A went home content with her 10 or 12 pieces candy. Three is a great age.Thanks to a different A for her help in painting the costume.
