The Moon Festival

Penny and Steve are in Guangzhou. They have sent me this photo as people prepare of the Moon Festival next weekend. Apparently it falls on the 15th day of the 8th month according to the Chinese lunar calendar. On this day (of a full moon), people offer sacrifices to the moon, eat moon cakes and express strong yearnings for family and friends who live afar (I am not making this up).
