This last Saturday, though, we spent the evening dressed up as pirates and townspeople and played a giant mystery game with some of our friends.
One of us got "murdered" at the beginning of the game, and we had to try to figure out who did it, kind of like a really complicated version of clue or mafia. I turned out that Daniel, one of our friends from the peace corps, killed the first mate of the pirate ship, because he didn't want the first mate to get any of buried treasure. Not a very good friend, is he? Lol.
We had a lot of fun making our costumes -- and we think that we should get school credit for learning how to make costumes in North Eastern Kenya...but our teachers don't agree with us. My jacket started out as a skirt, before I chopped it up and added braided trim and coke bottle cap buttons. Pirates totally made their buttons out of pop bottle caps, right?
So...maybe it wasn't the most historically accurate costume ever, but you work with what you've got, right?
