I visited the Chinese Classical Garden in downtown Portland this afternoon. This is the Chinese New Year – The Year of the Tiger. At 1:00 p.m. I attended a Feng Shui Lecture - Welcoming the God of Wealth – in the Scholar’s Study. I received a red envelope, symbolizing good luck for the coming year and two chocolate coins. There was a ceremony in the Scholar’s Courtyard (see photo). Afterwards I sat on the deck of Painted Boat in Misty Rain where I ate my lunch that I had purchased earlier at Starbucks. There was a very fragrant Meyer Lemon plant in a large ceramic pot next to me. I purchased a yearly membership so I can return many times this coming year.
