Beautiful Japan in the Spring

So beautiful like the cherry blossoms :)

SAKURA
It was the most ideal time to be there. Warm, pleasant low 70s.  There is a 2-3 week window of time in Japan that is very magical and romantic.  The cherry blossoms bloom, are enjoyed, and fall down.  We were there for all of it!  The best was the park near Ryuta's house.  There is a small lake, surrounded by paths lined with sakura.  We went there once for a picnic with Toru's family at the very awesome playground.  The next day we went back with Otoosan for a walk around the lake.

With Toru's wife, Chikako, and their ADORABLE baby, Sousuke-kun
