For the month of October, every Friday the locals dress up in their Creole attire. As they prepare for their independence day which is November 3rd. The first Friday in October, Bryn came out at lunch and told me Miss Fredrick said we had to make a creole dress. I about died, not only have I NEVER seen a material store here, I don't have a sewing machine, a pattern, or my mom! So I asked her for more details and she didn't know any. Well she forgot about it as did I until the next Friday, when she came out again at lunch telling me I needed to make her a creole dress. After some investigating, I figured out what the tradition of wearing the clothing on Friday was, and that you can buy the dresses at the local shops. So we finally got the dress, and she was able to wear it for 2 of the 5 Fridays in October. She was very excited about the dress. After I told her we can just buy them, everywhere we went she would be saying behind my back, "ask them where to buy a dress." Here she is in all her Creole Glory!
