Richard and Emilia found this festival and it was an excellent choice for our outing. This was the first year and although modest in size, I thought very well organized, plenty of activities for kids, and an all-around fun event. The members of the East Wind Foundation for Youth did a wonderful job hosting.
We happened to be standing at the perfect spot when the events kicked off. Here comes the dragon!

And then came the lions with the drummers and cymbals.
The kids were coloring in these fans. There was a place for tattoos, painting, spin-the-wheel, a jumpy house, etc.
There was entertainment around the park and a small stage for a puppet show, dance performances, music, etc.

We had a delicious early dinner at Yang Chow, a spot well know by Richard and Emilia, and good thing we went in early because by the time we left the line was out the door and half-way down the block. And we got to play Fortune Cookie Lotto and hit for 10 bucks. Yes, yes we will, we will ‘re-invest’.
Here’s the LA skyline heading east on the 10 to the 110N transition.
The LA skyline looks so different from every angle and since old buildings are constantly coming down and new buildings going up there doesn’t seem to be any particularly iconic view, where you see the picture and you know where you are. Maybe this one, from the internet where the profile of City Hall stands out.
