If there is one thing that always seemed beautiful to me, it is the sky with its stars. There are many memories he has given me: wait for the night of San Lorenzo with its shooting stars and the wishes that also fleeting changed year after year, my first trip to Spain with Chiara and Salvo sleeping in a bus towards Madrid, crossing by I don't know where under a sky full of impressive luminous dots, being lying in the park of my town with Sara and her sister talking about everything and nothing and being happy, Rober who sees a shooting star and is believed to be an asteroid that will collapse to the Holy Family ...
If there is a romantic party, really, this is the Loy Krathong. During the full moon of the twelfth month of the year thai people buy boats that sail along the river, handmade with banana leaves where they put incense, candles, flowers, fruit and even nail pieces: this symbolizes leaving behind the worst part of oneself and starting a life again more pure ... but the truly magical thing about tonight is that practically every person send your wishes to heaven through a paper lantern of rice that flies by lighting a candle inside.
Normally people ask for wishes when the sky gives them a shooting star ... tonight is magical, because they are the people who give wishes to heaven.
Thousands of people filled the streets, and thousands of lanterns illuminated the sky ... and a little brighter it was when we also wanted to launch our wishes to the sky ... we do not know if they will come true, but we know that this moment is already part of our memories .
