Love Halloween -for you out of the US-part of it means candy especially chocolate in little snack sizes-who wouldn't love that, kids dressed up in costumes, and go door to door seeking candy, those are the parts I like. But it also is the time the coffee shops have the Pumpkin Lattes-yummy.
Knitette- I guess one of the benefits of being in Europe is that going to another country is fairly close. I imagine it is about like going somewhere a couple of states away here, except for the visas and passports, and oh yeah language. Sounds like you are having a good time!
