Extra cherry blossom day!

Today I unexpectedly got to go and look at cherry blossoms again. I arrived at my older women's class this afternoon, and two of them ran in saying the blossoms were in full bloom (the class is in Saitama, the prefecture north of Tokyo) and that we should go for a walk. So, we walked along the river looking at blossoms. It started to rain a bit, but we all had umbrellas, so it was ok. There were hundreds of petals fallilng - it was like snow! So pretty. The trees were beautiful too. After our walk we headed to the mall for coffee and cake. It is hard to believe that I get paid for doing this!
