Cherry Blossoms

Cherry Blossoms have been celebrated for many centuries in Japan. There are many cherry blossom viewing parties held all over Japan. The Japanese eat and drink under these trees at some of the most popular viewing spots. Its quite a sight.

We had picnics the last two weekends at Himeji Castle. Unfortunatly the first picnic was marred by the Yellow Sand that came over from China and created a haze. The cold windy conditions that day made it imposssible to enjoy the atmosphere.
