The night was gorgeous -- a big full moon, clear sky, balmy air. First we bought a little floral arrangement built to float -- there are vendors set up all over and the air is full of the scents of jasmine, marigolds, and incense. We followed the crowd down to the water's edge. There are candles and incense in the floral arrangement, but naturally we had no fire. I managed to communicate our need to a group of nice young men who lit us up, and then we set our flower pot adrift with wishes and love.
The lake was full of hundreds of little love boats all twinkling and trailing sweet smoke in the moonlight -- so beautiful. The next day they were gone.
