We planned on watching the Japanese Cherry Blossom Festival today and watch it we did. We originally thought of going to Japantown. However, since the parade began in the Civic Center, that's where we saw most of the event given that we had lunch in the vicinity.

It actually worked out perfectly for us since the crowds there weren't as thick. We got a very good view of the parade. Eventually though, Marc and I made our way to Japantown where we watched the very entertaining finale.
