Well this weekend we loaded up and went down to Great America amusement park and rode roller coasters all day. That was in between the rain showers. In the month of March here, it rained 25 days of the month. It was a record. When we left Saturday morning it was raining pretty hard and everyone was looking at me like I was crazy. But by the time we got there the rain had stopped and we were able to enjoy the day. On Sunday we went to the cemetery for the Chinese ritual of the families going to the graves and having a picnic. I'm sure their is a more technical name for it. The entire family gets together and takes all sorts of food and drink to the graves. Incense is burned along with candles. Wine is poured on the graves for the ancestors to enjoy as well as leaving food for them to enjoy. Fake money is burned, so that they will have money in the afterlife. It must have been the last day of the celebration because I have never seen so many people at a cemetery in my life. Plus it was raining. After the rituals were completed we packed up all of the food and went back to the King's parents to eat. As we start another week out here they say it should rain for the next two weeks. Oh well! On another note: Auna you were simply stunning.
