Hanami

Hana = flower; mi = look; Hanami = going to a park to view the blooming cherry blossom trees while drinking!!  Takada Park in Joetsu was the location, about 3 hours south of me.  It was great times with other ALTs from this prefecture and the next.  I’ve been waiting my whole life to see the Sakura in Japan!!  They were pretty in the daylight, and got even more good-looking into the night.  The next day’s soccer practice (with a little bit of softball catch) but a cap on another fantaubulous weekend J
