The Year of the Water Dragon INDEED! (Happy Chinese New Year!)

I woke up at four to the sound of running water--not a little water, but torrents! It sounded like a waterfall. The whole kitchen floor was covered in water. As had happened before in the bathroom an old hose had burst under the sink. (What do people do that can't fix anything? No plumber would be available!) Matt hurriedly got his wrench to shut off the water while I pushed as much towards the drains as possible. It took us a while to get the floor cleaned up and then we went back to bed (with Ana who had heard it too). When we got back up at 7:00 the cabinet was full of water again! Yikes!


Dragon Dance at the mall.


The local mall had some of the gods walking around on stilts. The middle one is the god of prosperity. (phone photo)
