Buddha's Birthday

Hey all! I'm still trying to get caught up with the blog, I'm only a little over a month behind! Haha.... hopefully in the next couple of weeks this will happen.

May 24 was a public holiday for Buddha's Birthday here and during that week there were a lot events and festivities planned to celebrate it. One of these was the Lotus Lantern Parade. My Dad was visiting during this time and we happened to be in the area of the parade while it was on, so we stopped to watch for a while. The lanterns were beautiful and there were hundreds of them. Here are some pics from the parade:

Hi Carrie,
Wow that must have been quite the sight! They do look beautiful. How long did the parade last? There were so many different shapes and colors. Did it remind you of the Lanterns Around Wascana Lake event?
