Water Festival Preparations
Mon 22 November 2010
Last week the boat teams brought their boats to the riverbank. They seat about twenty people. They're very shallow, and look as though they're made from one tree trunk. I couldn't see any joins when I looked.
All of the boats had incense or fruit or flowers in the bow, even
during the races. They're the same things I've seen placed in shrines.
The offerings were more elaborate when the boats were on shore.
