Waiting @ The Wakayama Castle

110

No, this is not a photo from a drone or my foil.  This is a photo taken from my hotel room window.  The beautiful Wakayama Castle!  In a few days, these trees will turn bright pink when the flowers blossom.  Sakura season is days or hours away!

Walking under the trees, you see the buds that are waiting for the perfect time to bloom.  

Just this one tree in the whole castle grounds decided to bloom a little early.  Not a problem for us.

It’s the most happiest time of the year!  I’ve been watching the cherry blossoms in Japan ever since 1993 every single year.  So missing the past years from covid makes this year even better.  

My friends are asking me when I’m going back to Hawaii.  I don’t get to decide that, the cherry blossoms will decide.  Until then, I’m not going anywhere!  

In the meanwhile, I’m going to continue eating the best food in the world, continue to meeting my family and friends, and continue to live a happy and healthy life.  See you under the sakura tree!
