Spring has arrived!
Despite the fact that April always signals the arrival of final exams, I love the spring in DC because of the cherry blossoms. On Saturday, the weather was great so I decided to run down to the Jefferson Memorial to see the trees and they were incredible! I've lived here four years but I'm still amazed by how beautiful those trees are - like thick snow in the middle of spring. But as I was running I kept jumping over barriers to avoid the crowds of people there taking pictures and I inadvertently ended up running behind a stage where Japanese dancers were performing!!! I'm not sure I added much to the performance but at least I thought it was funny... and probably at least a few of the thousands of people on the other side got a laugh out of it.

Soooo pretty! Aren't there a bunch of cherry blossoms in Tokyo as well? I think Gabriel has told me about them before.

Yes, they're Japanese trees. We got ours as a gift from the Japanese government in 1912 to "celebrate the continued close relationship between the two people." I guess one or both of the people forgot about that during WWII.
Btw, thanks for your comment! I think you must be my only reader... ;-(
