Recycled Halloween in Bonaire

Even though I am not in the United States, we still celebrated Halloween. Our costumes had to incorporate some kind of recycled component. In one of our classes, we have been learning about the amount of different waste that enters into the marine environment and how long it takes to decompose. So, our challenge was to make a Halloween costume that was recycled or reused to reduce our usage of new material. My friend, Heidi, and I decided to go as dive sites. Yellow rocks with the name mark the dive sites.

It only seems fitting to go as the dive sites we
have been diving at all semester for Halloween!

We even had a party at the research station playing different games. We played ghost musical chairs where we were blind folded and had to find our chairs by feel once the music was turned off. This was quite interesting because we kept walking into each other in search of chairs. We finished off the night by playing charades acting out Halloween activities or movies. Some of the options were quite difficult to act out, which made the game that much more fun. 

Happy Halloween what a 'Spook'tacular evening!
