We went back in to The District today. Finally, the cherry blossoms are at absolute peak. It happened really fast once the warm weather arrived, which it did today. It was 91 degrees, a record.
What is there that one can actually say about the cherry blossoms in Washington DC that hasn't already been said? I did not want this day to ever end. The blossoms are such a lovely symbol of our friendship with Japan which gifted the original trees to us. There are thousands of Japanese tourists in DC right now, taking photos, walking around, as well as so many other tourists - special trips for school children from all over the country, other tour groups, people like us. Everyone was enjoying the day completely. There weren't nearly as many people walking around the Tidal Basin today, and so our meander was so much more pleasant.
I could hardly stop taking photos. I will present a few. Just imagine the warm breezes, very slight fragrance and walking beneath and around in such beauty.
Sigh!
