Tonight, after a very busy day of birthday parties and east african culture....we headed into the city for a bit of asian culture. Tonight was the famous San Francisco Chinese New Years parade. It was freezing...and had been raining all day. Luckily tonight, it was a bit drizzly but not pouring rain. It was, however, crowded! Uncle Gogo and Aunt Resa were supposed to save a place for us on the parade route. I guess, in theory, they did. But, they saved it on the WAY other side of the parade where we could not reach because the parade officials would not let anyone cross over. So...instead we stuffed into a crowd and Mommy and Bada held us up as high as they could for as long as they could (all the while mommy was muttering ugly things about her relatives under her breath....for some reason she was not thrilled to be standing in the cold drizzly rain holding a 45 pound kid up over her head while manuevering a double stroller in a crowd full of people).
In any case....it actually was SO fun. I loved the parade and all the bands and the chinese dragons. After the parade finished we went inside and got some chinese food for dinner before heading home. Whew...quite a day!
