HAlloween





You mentioned halloween, so that was last friday oct 31.
I was in the Ekovaruhuset store on Ludlow in the lower east side in Manhattan, after that I went to the parade which should be amazing.
In the store came a lot of creatures to ask me to trick or tread. I treaded them, but I was curious about the tricks aswell...
Unfortunately I missed the most amazing part of the parade but what I have seen was nice aswell.
So many people, young and old, all dressed in a halloween costums. Everybody was very happy and the streets were crowded.
After the parade I headed off to Pascale to went to a halloween party of friends of Daniel.
Daniel is a very good friend of Pascale and I like him aswell.
Parkslope is the area in Brooklyn were the the party took place.
(I really don't know if I could say this grammar wise in this way.
I try to think of the order I should place the words in but grammar never been my best part so hope u don't mind.)
I wouldn't say I enjoyed the party very much as one of the participants but as a observer I cannot say somethingelse than that I felt lucky to be there. And only because I witnessed american people and how they enjoy halloween and than what made me even more happy I could make some little recordings. Infact I hope to find a way to let you hear my soundclip which I made. But i don't see a possibility yet.

and thank u for your mail, glad you like this blog I make for u.. : )

NEW SURrrrrrRRRRROUNDINGS........... red hook...............




Red Hook is my new neighbourhood.
It is more wide and feels more open. It is very near to the water.
I have a nice view on the statue liberty, but it still quite far
I think I told you that already in a text message.

Red Hook used to be a place with many dutch people.
It shows itself in the names of the streets.
van Brunt, van Dike, and more.

First picture is van Brunt street at night. I could not sleep so made a walk.
Than a few pictures from my first walk in this area to check it out.
