Day 147
Chinatown Gateway
August 20th, 2010
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Here's my progress so far:
By walking west, you will reach the east . . .
Looks like you’re having a great time in PDX.
uhhh, I thought he was in Oregon
Looks very similar to the one I just photographed in Washington D.C. You’re getting so close to the end of your journey!! How exciting!!
Alisa 11 – you can email Matt direct. His email address is on his home page, upper right hand corner. I hope you get a chance to see him.
Matt what did you do pass the Rockaway beach and keep going all the way to China? lol. I guess a lot of places have their own China towns. That happens to be one big entryway.
Is there a America town in China?? Just thinking .. you know.
Funny Jeff. I never thought of that but you’ve got a good one there. I wonder now to.
Beautiful. I have a much smaller version of that statue guarding my front steps.

It’s a Fu Lion .. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_guardian_lions
The lions are always created in pairs, with the male playing with a ball and the female with a cub. They occur in many types of Chinese pottery and in Western imitations.
That’s interesting! Thanks to Karen Too and Gigi for posting the links!
aha the shrink ray ..you have it.
Oh the shopping in Chinatown…. and the food!
There’s one like this at Epcot Center too! ;-)
