We picked up my uncle from the airport and then celebrated by going to immediately to Dim Sum and ate our fill of yummy shrimp purses and slippery noodles. We tried to walk off some of the meal by visiting the Portland Art Museum for a special exhibit on modern China media.

We stayed in downtown all day really just wasting time until dinner for a Pizza on Scholls pizza. There is always a line forming at 4:30 for the 5:00 door opening. We took turns standing in line as it was freezing cold.

Holiday activities revolve around food, food and more food.

A big treat was getting to visit over steaming tea with my beautiful friends Sandra and Kevin who joyfully were recently engaged. They were driving down home to California from Astoria. It was such a wonderful couple of hours exchanging dreams and latest revelations. We all left full and satisfied deep down but not only of vitamins and carbs.
