SONOMA TOWN

A small beautiful and peaceful town. In the summer,you can sit outside of any restaurants to enjoy your food and wine and look over the vineyards. It is very peaceful and relaxing.
There are many old buildings. The older are the City hall and the hotels. They were built in 1890. If you like the history,there is a small museum that shows the Indian and cowboy life. There is a big park in the middle of town. There are big trees along the walkways and many kinds of flowers. They look colorful.
All the shop are around the park. There is wine ,cheese,gift and antique shops. After shopping, you can go to the movie thearte which older than us many years, I thought!
someone likes classic or old-fashion let take time to visit this town,you might find something interesting.

CHINESE NEW YEAR

In this Chinese New Year with America’s holiday at the same time, so Vietnamese people are very happy. On Sunday, they did the parade in downtown San Jose from 9:00 to 12:00. It was crowded. A lot people fired firecrackers all the time. I didn’t use to hear firecracker’s sound for a long time in my country. When the parade finished we went to the Grand Century Mall for lunch but very hard to found a parking lot. We drove around over half hour, it was drive us crazy. Anyway we were a great holiday.
