First hanami















This weekend we stayed over at Maki's parents place in Ogikubo and could enjoy Kai's first hanami ever and our first hanami of the year down by the river where big cherry trees grow along the water. The trees have not reached full bloom yet and the best period is still to come. Previous week was fairly cold and the blooming kind of stopped or at least slowed down. Yesterday was quite warm and we could enjoy a few hours in the park before going to a hanami party at Paul and Junko's new place in Yokohama. Today has been back to cold weather again and the forecast for the next couple of days it doesn't look any better.
