Got My Lion Luck!

A  L  O  H  A !

 Lion Dancing at Chinese New Year Time

is one of my favorite things in the world.

 So we were seated by the window of

Yet Wah Restaurant in San Rafael

eagerly anticipating dancing 

lions and tons of great noise.

[The one time of year I like noise]

I saw a fit teenage girl lion dancing in

Honolulu in recent years. And we

remarked on it. It's always been

a boy thing. But look! Girls

really eager to do their moves.

You GO Girls!

 I was impressed by their preparation

"There's only one thing 

I never did and 

wish I had done: 

climbed over a fence. "

                  Queen Mary

I bet these girls

climb anything

they want to!

 Lion Heads UP!

Headed inside!

This is no One-Lion town!

They like to go up high

and look around

Distracted by Take-Out

 Back to the work at hand:

eating those tasty and

lucrative Red Envelopes!

"Lions are so BIG!

My camera is 

so small."

She thinks to herself

 

The Lion's Heartbeat.

Rhythm of the dance.

 These lions 

did NOT stop moving!

 Who has who?

Dad approves.

Brother is 

less certain.

 I like how both patrons

have their fingers

in their ears.

[We were wearing 

our earplugs, as

do the participants.

NOT my first lion dance!]
