As Halloween approached I pretty bummed that I couldn't be in Austin for a spectacularly weird weekend. Sure, I could have planned a Halloween party here in Dresden, but it would have been any other costume party. What is irreplaceable is how the whole city of Austin, with adults and kids alike, transforms itself into an eccentrically costumed Halloween wonderland for an entire weekend. It's so much more than the candy and sweets.
Unexpectedly, however, I did experience an utterly weird and fun Halloween... at the DINO PARK. The park dates back to the DDR and is situated in a foresty area outside the city. There are no flashy rides, sugary treats, neon advertisements, or mind-numbing children's music. (We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto!) Instead, there are gigantic dinosaur sculptures and an elaborate series of wooden playgrounds where you can climb and swing like a monkey. And climb and swing I did! But the real icing on the cake was the erotic Neanderthal structures. Yes, really! You read it correctly. What can I say, it's never too early for sexual education in Germany.
Under entirely normal circumstances there are always uncontrollable fits of laughter with Micha and his family, so you can imagine how hilarious and unforgettable Halloween '10 was at the DINO PARK.
Proof!
