the legendary LA Chinatown bakery we stood in front of for the parade
I think these little girls managed to greet every single dragon in the parade [it is tradition to slip a red envelope into the mouth of the each dragon and touch the top of their heads for good luck].
more revelers in the parade
a great little shop in Chinatown that is owned by relatives of our friends

Guess I'll have to take her to California
Thanks for posting those. Being a Cali girl myself, I did recognize some of the places. My mother and I often hit Chinatown for Dim sum on our trips. It makes me mucho happy.
We should meet up!
