This blog began in late 2006 with the planning and preparation for a circumnavigation of the world in my 39-foot sail boat Pachuca. It then covered a successful 5-year circumnavigation that ended in April 2013. The blog now covers life with Pachuca back home in Australia.

Chinese New Year Parade - 3, Dragons and Drums
The top photo shows the laughing reactions to the antics of the playful dragons.
The second hand shows Brenda's hand deep in a dragon's mouth. It is considered good luck to feed the dragon money and this one found a $1 bill to be very tasty.
There is a delightful one further down of a child getting up close and personal with a dragon.
Below that is a photo of the percussion teams that were interspersed throughout the parade.
The last photo is of a sort of serpent dragon which could curl and gyrate at dizzying speed.
So many different and glamorous dragons. I'm glad i didn't miss these photos as we had a 50C day followed by 70ml rain and long long power outages...so i was off the computer!!
