My friend, Lynn, from Portland, and me are waiting for the parade to begin! |
The monks are so beautiful in spirit and generous with smiles. Fashionable too! |
The garments are colorful and every participant carrie sa lantern. |
The lotus, of course! |
Gotta have a dragon! |
Traditional Korean ceremonial wear. |
Ah, a sage! |
My friend, Vicki, from Toronto. We were given a lantern! |
The Buddha mascot! |
The children here are precious. All the elders give them candy and hugs. |
Must have a princess in a parade, right? |
This is my new friend, Rose, a third grader who sat next to me. Count how many chins I have in this picture! |
The elephant is the symbol for wisdom and compassion. |
What's better than a dragon? A fire-breathing dragon! |
And one with smoke too! |
A group of monks finally sitting down after walking for three hours. |
When the parade ends, the party begins and there is music and dancing all over the streets! |
Happy Happy Birthday Buddha! |
