Halloween German Style

Halloween is just starting to become popular in Germany, so for the first year, I didn't have to wear a costume! Two other girls and I went to Darmstadt, which is only about 30 min away by train. Megan has a friend who lives there who she had met while he was studying abroad in the US. We had planned on going to the Frankenstein Castle. It is the castle the book was based on and we heard it was awesome. Since it was Halloween night, it was so packed tickets were sold out. We ended up going back to his place and Thomas and his twin brother took us out for the night. It was nice to have a free place to stay for once. The next day we did some shopping around town and headed back early for Tara's birthday.
Tara's dad came to visit the day of her birthday and they went on a small trip. When we were all back in Heidelberg he took 4 of us out for dinner. It was nice that she was able to spend her birthday with her dad. He acted like he was all of our dads for the night. After dinner we went to our favorite bar downtown, The Dubliner. We gave Tara the famous fire shot for her birthday and she took it like a champ. It was a very fun night with Theo and the girls!
