Cherry Blossom Festival

Cherry Blossom Festival

The SF /Japantown Cherry Blossom Festival has been on for the last two weekends, but Sunday was both the grand parade and no rain on the horizon. There isn't that many cherry trees in the area, so a little one at Sutter and the J-town walkway briefly became the most photographed object in San Francisco. (and she did a fine job of it too) During the parade, I was sandwiched next to an Indian lady who had a child in the parade. We developed a sort of dance trying to keep each others head and hands out of our respective pictures. The exhibits were the usual roll your own sushi kits, sumi brushes, t-shirts,and japanese tchotchkes of various provenance.(tradition is rather relative at a street fair) Great fun and some of the best weekend weather we've had in quite some time.
