Friday, April 8th: Cherry Blossoms
We wandered around Kyoto today. Scott has listed all the sites we visited but I want to remark on the different colors and kinds of cherry trees. We have the Yoshino cherry's in DC, and I grew up with a fruit bearing cherry with white flowers in my back yard. I have never seen so many different colors and configurations of cherry trees before in my life. Weeping cherry trees in DC are so stumpy as to be funny - here they are as big as weeping willows and are gorgeous. Pinks, whites, reds!!!!! - I can't believe all the colors.
