看櫻花
今年的春天似乎來的比較早,突然想跟老公去野餐看櫻花,不知道舊金山或是灣區附近哪裡有賞櫻的好地點咧? 如果知道有好地點的朋友可不可以介紹一下?

Re: 看櫻花
我知道 Cupertino Memorial Park有很多櫻花樹, 櫻花開的時候一整排很好看.
最近沒經過那裡不知道花開了沒.
每年這公園會有日本櫻花節活動, 今年是4/28~29,
所以我猜櫻花盛開的時候大概還沒到吧.

The Cherry Blossom Festival
The Cherry Blossom Festival honoring Cupertino's sister city of Toyokawa, Japan, is held at Memorial Park in April. Hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and admission is free.

The event offers a wide selection of Japanese food and beverages, entertainment, demonstrations, cultural exhibits, art, crafts and clothing for sale. A special children's section will feature activities and hands-on arts and crafts, including face painting and a petting zoo. During the festival, a series of cultural displays and demonstrations will be featured at the Quinlan Community Center. All-day entertainment takes place in the park amphitheater.

Craft booths throughout the park will offer a wide variety of items for sale, including kimonos, cards, paper sculptures, pottery, jewelry, washi eggs and dolls, Japanese antiques, clothing, paintings, candles, photos, woodwork and T-shirts.

The 200 cherry trees and the two traditional lanterns at the park were gifts to the city of Cupertino from Toyokawa.

The festival benefits the nonprofit Cupertino Sister City Committee, which promotes friendship and student exchange programs between the two cities. Local nonprofit organizations that support services for disadvantaged, youth sports, music and language programs will have booths which raise funds for their groups.

For further information about the Cherry Blossom Festival, call Lucille Honig, festival coordinator, at (408) 257-7424, Marge Taniguchi, at (408) 255-2093 or visit the website at www.cupertinotoyokawa.org

Re: 看櫻花
上星期去金門公園,花都還沒開,唉~ 過一陣子再去看看好了,不過雖然沒有什麼花,走在公園裡,凉凉的風吹在臉上,挺舒服的,大家有空也出去走走吧
