Sakura

I've been informed that I'm overdo for my next blog post. The fact is I haven't felt inspired by anything in particular.  A lot has happened, but I almost don't know what to choose. So...I'll talk about....cherry blossoms! Ha! It sounds strange, but cherry blossom viewing is a big deal out here. Every spring, families, friends and coworkers gather together at parks to enjoy picnics and the beautiful scenery.

                  My boss decided to take those who wished to go to a similar place to see the sakura. This area was on a riverbank and had over 1,000 trees cascading at its edges. It was truly beautiful. There were vendors selling food from grilled chicken on a stick to corn on the cob to octopus balls. People sat around, played music on guitars, hiked up and own the river and just enjoyed the season.
