My favorite costume of the night was the conjured up by Jennea, one of my fellow trainees.  As our group has seemed to come up with a pretty extensive list of medical excuses that have required visits to the Capitol city, She dressed up as a free trip to Maputo.  She had a band-aid on her head (Charlie cracked his head open), bandage around her hand (Grisha sliced his hand open), a key taped to her eye (I cracked my eye open), and finally red dots painted on her face and arms (Matt just got over a case of the Chicken Pox).  It was awesome, and she deserves acknowledgement in the form of a posting on my blog:
