Chinese New Year Celebration
Happy Year of the Ox!
Vanessa and I went down to watch the Chinese New Year celebrations in Chinatown. We couldn’t have asked for a better day to go out in Washington, either. The weather got up to about 60 degrees today without a cloud in the sky.
While there was a lack of overall organiation at the event, it was neat to see. There was the typical dragon dance, another dragon dance, and yet another dragon dance. The drum groups were pretty cool.
The biggest disappointment, however, was the failure to light the giant firecracker.
I’ve also uploaded a few snapshots to flickr. Click the image below to view.
