Gung Hay Fat Choy!

On Friday, we went to the Chinese Garden in Portland to take part in their two week long Chinese New Year celebration. 



The show included a wonderful dance by some lovely ladies, as well as a great dragon dance. 


The gardens are built around shallow pools, and they were filled with floating lanterns of various colors. 




I really like Dragons, as evidenced by my long time friendship with a certain stuffed dragon belonging to a friend. 



Dragon had friends here:






The regular lanterns were neat too, especially since there were some blossoms on the trees already!





Here are some videos of the dances so you can feel like you were there, complete with commentary from yours truly. Mostly, "DRAGON, get the pearl of wisdom! (That's what he was chasing.) I love you Dragon! John Bonomo!!!! (Our Colorado friend with the dragon above)"















Thanks for reading! Best wishes and love from Portland.
