So much for posting once a week. Been kind of hectic getting ready for all the visitors coming for Golden Week and also for the numerous curling tournaments. We actually had a group from Canada come and stay with us for a couple days even.
Last week though, the wife and I, along with friends Garry and his wife Wei-ling traveled 30 minutes up the road to nearby Ueda Castle to view the sakura blossoms. I had never seen them before so I didn't know what to expect. I was blown away by how colourful and just how beautiful and delicate they really were.
Below are some examples of the sakura blossoms plus as promised a few pictures of me at my finest. Oh yeah, I almost forgot! We came upon a monkey preforming tricks for a crowd.
I can't wait for next year to go again.
