This is an eventful month for us. All three of us celebrate birthdays in November and two major holidays fall in November. Of course, American Thanksgiving falls at the end of the month. In the middle of the month all of Thailand celebrates Loy Kratong. Loy Kratong marks the end of the rainy season and is a major holiday in Thailand (sort of like Easter or Thanksgiving in America). Loy Kratong is celebrated by floating lotus shaped boats down the river, releasing giant lanterns into the sky and letting off lots of fireworks. Here is a picture of a kratong and of some boys from our school with bags full of fireworks at the river (the center of the celebration).

The boat is beautiful! Did you make it? Who taught you? And now, Lydia would like to say something...

Amy,
My mehrbaan (housekeeper) taught me. It's actually easier than it looks. The green bits are made of banana leaves which are sort of like heavy paper. The orchids grow everywhere in Thailand.
