I went to the Cherry Blossom Festival with a few classmates to wander around the booths, watch the parade and take photos. It was particularly fun because one of my classmates, Chie, is an exchange student from Japan and she was very enthusiastic - chiming in with the festivities in Japanese and singing along with the Japanese songs accompanying the dancers and other parade participants. The costuming and decorations were vibrant and colorful and the children who participated were adorable! There was a great show of support for Japan as well as efforts to help those in need after the recent earthquake and tsunami. I am posting some of the photos I took to share the experience...
