Chinese New Year

Today started with a walk at dawn. The morning was filled with creating a SNAP blog post, and the afternoon was spent on errands getting clothes for Harry's baptism. This evening we went to Rio Vista Park for the Arizona Chinese Lantern Festival. It was a day late, but the festival was in honor of Chinese New Year. There was food, including Navajo tacos (it is Arizona after all). We chose the wrong thing: Panda-Express-like combo, but really lousy! Nothing is as disappointing to me as a missed opportunity for good food. The festival featured lots of stuff including entertainment and float-like lanterns. When darkness fell, they were quite dramatic.
