Cherry Blossom Festival

Saturday I had a wonderful day at the Cherry Blossom Festival, even though it rain lightly all day.

I can't list all I saw, but watching the Judo team was loads of fun, and the bonsia trees and flower arranging was incredible! One of the trees was 52 years old.

Denver has a suprisingly large and strong Asian community. In the area of the fair was the downtown Asian store, with lots of odd items. It's a shame that they have to slap on USA labels, becuase some of those packages were lovely to look at. Others... well, some were kind of hard for this white boy from the south to look at too long. I mean, who needs a back full of sun dried minnows?

But a great time. It's always nice getting your head into another culture, even just a little bit.
