China - February 13th

Happy New Year's Eve!

During the day we were to walk to a nearby temple but our hostess's Mother was admitted to the hospital so they needed to go off to visit her. Sadly later during dinner they were called away as JoMa's Mother had passed away.

The picture of the buildings shows the Olympic Soccer Stadium from the 2008 Olympics. It is about 2 (Chinese) blocks from JoJo's house as my niece Michelle would say.

You could hear fireworks all evening but at about 11:45 PM the fireworks started in earnest. Each Community holds their own celebration with fireworks bought by the residents. I have never seen such beautiful fireworks. The show lasted over an hour and went on continuously.
