A brand new event occurred in ABQ this year ….the Chinese Lantern Festival.  It was delightful.  There was an amazing display of culture, ethnic food available and hot cocoa to take the chill off. 

It was sooooo cold that night!  In addition to the stationary colorful visual displays, there was an hour long live performance of dance and unbelievable acrobatics.  I was absolutely impressed with not only the skill involved, but the joy with which the performers shared their expertise!
My friends Susan and her husband Bryan and I really enjoyed our experience despite the grand chill!!!  LOL
