Chinese New Year in Paris 2008 - part 2

Today was the big parade in the 13th arrondissement

We had excellent weather

A lot of people were out today to watch the parade

Fireworks along the parade route

Lest we forget the upcoming Olympic games

Even more colorful than yesterday's parade

Happy New Year!

The tail end of the dragon

There were huge crowds in all the restaurants so I stopped off in Belleville on my way home and got some take out stuff. These were delicious

I bought other things as well for our lunch today but I'm saving the photos for another post tomorrow

I took a whole bunch more photos that are not parade specific so I'm going to make another post on some of the interesting things in Chinatown and yes, it will be about food. Until then

Happy lunching!

First, that top photo is absolutely stunning. You've had wonderful weather for these Chinese New Year photos.

Second, you are tagged for a bilingual meme -- well, I turned it into a bilingual one -- no obligation of course:

Finally, I was just going to tell you that your blog was extremely slow to load this evening but I've found the culprit myself in your comments: the dreaded Foodie Blogroll!

Actually the Foodie Blogroll is a great idea, but the widget really slows down the loading time for the blog. I had it for a while but finally took it down for that reason. Hate to rain on your parade, so to speak.

That looks like an awesome parade - those dumplings aren't bad either! ;)
