Moon River

Tonight Leah and I continued to enjoy the Candle Ceremony by walking to the Moon River and enjoying the night.  People were out on the streets enjoying the cool air.  Floating candles were in the air and plenty of little kids were playing with little sparklers.  It reminded me of the Fourth of July a little.  We continued to walk beside the river.  It was a very nice evening.  People were laughing and enjoying themselves.  There were fireworks in the distance and people sitting along the road.  The most interesting part of the night was learning about the tradition of the floating banana leaves.  It's a tradition that couples perform to see if their relationship is meant to be.  The couple puts the little banana boats in the water next to each other and if they float down the river together, the couple is meant to be!  But, if the boats drift from each other, it is thought that the couple's relationship will fall apart!!  Yikes!
