Cherry Blossom Festival

Philip and I went to the Cherry Blossom Festival yesterday in Japantown. Hundreds of performers from both Japan and California gather to give thousands of spectators a taste of the Japanese culture. Although we didn’t seen hundreds, we saw a few. Small children demostrated their martial arts prowess, they were so cute. The sun was out in full force and the large crowd of people seemed to be in a good mood. There were a lot of different tents with food and other sections with vendors selling various items or theories. One tent had a special on toilets. I have no idea how that is connected with a Cherry Blosson Festival.

A band played 70′s disco tunes, but the crowd seemed okay with that. I think the “Death to Disco” movement is over.
