We watched the parade on TV and liked all of the floats, but this was special as we also live in San Diego, and have visited Yun Chuan and Xin Bao twice. On one occasion we took the 60-minute guided tour in the morning, which was interesting.

I cannot imagine a better place to live!

My interest in the Rose Bowl died when Fox Sports killed the Pac 10/12. So much tradition lost. PeaceWave Jan 2025 #21

Not entirely true -- watched/heard a whole thing on the collapse of the PAC-12 (PAC12 commissioner is mostly to blame) JT45242 Jan 2025 #31
