location: my town, SaijoSo, I went on 4 separate cherry viewing trips, but I'm just gonna talk about 2 of them here.
First was the night viewing with friends out in Tambara, on the outskirts of town. We pulled up to a nicely lit riverbank complete with food stalls and sprawling night lit cherry blossom trees and all sat down to drinks and snacks, and just chattin about whatever. It was a nice night of comradery and cool breezes by the river.

Next was my day party with Jennifer a couple of my Japanese friends, Rie and Tako, and a couple of the other JETs in my area. M
y friend Rie made this delicious looking sushi cake! Thats right, rice krispies on top, rice and sushi in the middle. Yum! We all hung out under the cherry trees by a small creek under the bright sunshine. Usually, cherry blossom viewing is seen as a way to socialize with your friends and enjoy the beautiful marker of spring season, cherry blossoms (the blossoms themselves only last for about 10-14 day
s,depending on the weather...) so, we all hung out, Jennifer and I wound up explaining the Thong Song to Rie and Tako (haha...loong story!) and then the others showed up and we all goofed off and ate this delicious feast. I hope these pictures do justice to the beautiful blossoms of my town!
