Time for another blog post already?! I thought I’d do a little picture post about Sakura Matsuri in Washington, DC on 4 April 2009. I have to say, it was so incredibly crowded, it was barely any fun. I had to push my way to tables to see what the vendors had and waited in line for nearly an hour for lunch!
After we spent several hours there, we went to the Tidal Basin to look at the Japanese cherry blossom trees, given to the US government from the Japanese government in the 1910s. I have to say, I hate tourists. Never mind that they were taking entire branches from the trees, never mind that they were blocking entire walkways, never mind that nearly every time I tried to take a picture some Indian guy would spot me, run into my frame and take a picture, ruining mine. Needless to say, while it was nice, Andy & I plan to go back later this week sans annoying-as-fuck tourists
