It is Chinese New Year and we've gone to the local celebration to see what it is all about. Lots of families dressed in beautiful traditional outfits, music, arts and food. A group of girls played stringed instruments on stage and there was a dance troupe...and a Mariachi band as well.
Outside they are selling dumplings and sausage on a stick. Later, we bought a cute little pig to mark the "Year of the Pig". We'll take that pig to China to meet our daughter some day.
And best of all -- a Chinese friend gave us two little paper lanterns. They are hanging in our house in hope of a bright future. Those little lanterns will come to mean a lot to us in the long days ahead.
And "sausage on a stick" ?? The meaning of that will have to wait for another post
