It was cold & misty by this time. They were all esconsed for the night - families with their children huddled together - young & old - their carts in the background loaded with household goods & their bullocks lying in front of them.

In the distance, were the lights of the booths set up with food vendors - sweets & rice meats - cigarettes & little cafes The types here again, were incredible in variety & color.

Our party stayed till midnight - then a wonderful, romantic ride home - shivering with cold in the jeep. Fritz Shoemacher was a wonderful companion for the evening. He was as delighted as I was with the experience.
