It's becoming a tradition for me to go to the National Cherry Blossom Festival in DC every spring. As expected, it was packed with like-minded visitors mostly from DC, Virginia and Maryland. The beautiful views of the pink blossoms along the Tidal Basin were enjoyable. Even better was a shower of cherry blossoms blown down from the tree. Due to the warm weather of this winter, the blossoms arrived one week earlier than their usual schedule and, in my opinion, were not as good as those of the last year. We also checked out a Hokusai exhibition in Sackler Gallery and were lucky to see a performance of lion dance and percussion by Kenny Endo, a Japanese drummer. Also featured was a Japanese traditional dance by a guest dancer, who was teaching the dance in DC.
As usual, we wouldn't leave DC without having some good Chinese food in Rockville. And we did.
