Japan Photo of the Week: Cherry Blossoms in Kyoto

Unless you are in the northern half of Japan, you are already enjoying the cherry blossoms. For those of you in the Kansai region (actually anyone in Japan), I encourage you to take a trip to Kyoto during this time.

I am sure you can find nice spots all around Japan, but Kyoto is really a special place. One reason why is that there are just so many options. Of course you can go to all the famous places but try and walk around, “get lost” and see what you can find by yourself. Which is in fact how I found this street in Kyoto (although it appears that it is find of famous itself, just I found it by mistake). If you haven’t already checked out the cherry blossom photos at the gallery, here they are.

This photograph was taken by Evan Pike.

And the NCAA update… UNC won their first 2 NCAA games by 20+ pts, *I think* the only other two times UNC did that was in 1993 and 2005….both years UNC won the championship!
