2008 Washington DC Dragon Boat Festival
The Dragon Boat Races, of course, are the main event. More than 40 teams were present and this year, perhaps due to the later date, the day was more consistently sunny and we managed to get a lot more good photos. Of course, it didn't hurt that we had a better camera this go round.
