Happy New Year!

Today is Chinese New Year.  This is the year of the snake, an animal which symbolizes wisdom in Chinese tradition.

Last Saturday we went to our favorite restaurant, Testal, for dinner.  Although it specializes in traditional Mexican cuisine, it is located in the heart of Mexico City's Chinatown.  When we left the restaurant we found the street closed to traffic and filled with people.  By pure chance we had stumbled upon the beginning of the annual Chinese New Year celebration.


There were people in costume, dragon dancers, pounding drums and crashing cymbals, and lots of fireworks.
