Cherry Blossom Festival












One of the most beautiful sites on Zama are the hundreds of cherry trees that blossom pink and white clouds of spring every April. It is absolutely breathtaking. On one of the hills there are at least fifty trees. When the wind blows, it appears to be snowing, as little white petals sprinkle down from the trees and fall in drifts on the grass. The festival brought Americans and Japanese out on a windy but sunny day. We enjoyed listening to the drummers in the outdoor auditorium. We munched on naan (Indian bread) and curry, yakisoba (Japanese fried noodles) and some kind of curry potato vegetable pocket! Yum! It was a great day!
