DragonBoat Races, Buffalo Bayou Houston

Dragon Boat races on a beautiful Spring day.  Downtown along Buffalo Bayou, with the University of Houston Downtown in background.

This was a team who were all blind except the drummer and steerer.  They managed quite well.

Each team had a drummer who set the pace.

 There were also martial arts displays, cooking, a magician and other entertainment, as well as food and drink.

Each boat also had a person who steered.

 

You could don a "sumo" wrestler suit and "wrestle".  Funny to watch.






There were some traditional (vietnamese) dances also, like the dragon dance below.  All in all a fun and entertaining day!
