Easter Sunday

Late March and early April is a busy time of year in Japan. Luckily, amidst the flurry of meetings and trainings, there are also flurries of cherry blossoms! Taking the time to relax and appreciate the beauty of spring -- especially with good food and fun friends! -- has been really wonderful!

This Easter Sunday, Chad and I went cherry blossom viewing with a woman from my gym and her granddaughter. The weather was perfect, and the cherry blossoms were just bursting with beauty. Below, our fine feast is pictured:

Top Left: Karaage (Japanese-style fried chicken)
Middle Row: Tempura, more Tempura, and Onigiri (Japanese Rice Balls)
Bottom: Deviled Eggs, Carrot Cake Cupcakes, and Huge Oranges!
(Can you guess who made what food?)



Relaxing with full bellies!

After about three and a half hours of relaxing at the park, we headed home. What a wonderful way to spend Easter!

Hope your Easter was as blessed with food and friendship as ours was ~~!
