It is a beautiful summer day today. A perfect day for dragon boat races!
According to the Dragon Festival website, "Dragon Boat Racing originated in China in the third century, but is now a cross cultural sport with events throughout the world both at the local and international level. It's popularity merits its consideration as a demonstration sport at the Olympics and at the commonwealth Games. While Western dragons are fierce beasts to be slain by a hero like Saint George, Chinese dragons are entirely benevolent creatures with powers."
Mostly it was just a really nice day to spend outside at the park. It will be even more fun next year when Nora is here to go with us. I am so happy that we live in an area with an active Asian community. I think that will be very important for Nora as she grows up.
