In Asia, today is their Moon Lantern Festival. In Adelaide as part of the OzAsia Festival they are celebrating it tonight in Elder Park and we plan on going.
Had a surprise phone call today from Tori. I was soooo happy to hear from her. Jodi and her have been having problems so Tori decided to move out of home. Hopefully this 'living away from home' is only a short term thing. Tori is lucky she has friends who are willing to take her in.
Tori called into Tony's work with some of her friends and rang me from there. Tony had told her we were going to the Festival and so she rang to ask if it would be OK for her and Craig to come. Of course I said "YES".
Sadly Tori didn't end up coming up with us tonight.....there was some communication mixup. She had ended up catching the bus to our place and then came into town with me to meet Tony and Craig, but when she eventually contacted Craig he was already home from work. She decided she didn't want to go to the Festival so caught the bus back home.
Tony and I went to the Festival. It was cold down by the river, but the parade of lanterns was awesome. People had gone to a lot of trouble to make the larger lanterns and the school children were proud to show off the ones they had made as well. The night finished with fireworks.
From the Lens...........some of the awesome lanterns
