Априлили!!!


The title of this blog entry is the name of the holiday celebrated on April 1st in Macedonia. Like April Fools' Day in America, people try to say things that trick their friends and family but Aprilili is even better because there are kids in costumes too. I doubt I will ever see so many Spidermans (Spidermen?) in the same place again. Popular costumes included other non-Spiderman superheroes, princesses, pirates, cowboys, and witches. The photos on this page (plus more here) are mostly from the kids participating in a costume catwalk in Bitola's city center. Personal favorites of mine were the Indians, Harry Potter, Orthodox priest with a broken arm, the tiny Turk, and Uncle Sam.
