cherry blossom viewing party
エイプリルフールの土曜日、代々木公園で花見会。先週は寒い日や雨の日が続いたけど、土曜日は最高の花見日和になった。満開の桜、無風(今日なんて嵐みたいな風なのに)、晴天!超ごった返しの代々木公園だったけど、場所にも恵まれてイイお花見だった。
We had a 'hanami' cherry blossom viewing party in Yoyogi park on Saturday, April Fool's Day. It had been cold and rainy, but Saturday was a perfect day for a hanami party: sunny, no wind, and cherry blossoms in full bloom! A LOT of people came to see the cherry trees in the park, but we found a nice place and enjoyed the lovely day.

他人のブルーシートを踏まずに歩くのが大変なくらいに何処を見ても青、青、青。予定よりも1時間早く、そしてみんなより2時間も早く(やっぱり!予想通りの遅さ!)正午過ぎに公園に到着した相棒、場所はどこにも残ってなかったらしく、朝の5時から場所取りをしていたという集団がムダに余らせていたスペースの横に付け、友人のKちゃんと上手に交渉し、その場所を使わせてもらう事に。スゴイ!午後4時くらいになると何処もこんな感じ。なぜか立ち飲み。みんな桜が好きなのか、宴会が好きなのか。どこも酔っ払いだらけで大盛り上がり。

People put big blue sheets everywhere to sit on (without shoes, of course!) and to reserve their space. The whole area was covered with blue sheets and it was hard to walk without stepping on their sheets. C volunteered to save some space for us and went to the park around noon: an hour before we planned to meet and two hours before our first friends arrived (they were all late as expected!). All good places were gone, but C sat next to a huge empty space reserved by a group who had come to the park at 5am to reserve a huge space. C and our friend K asked nicely and they let us sit in their space! Around 4pm, it got more packed and there were drunk people everywhere. I wonder if people came to see cherry blossoms or to enjoy drinking parties outside. I guess we love both...

きれいだったよ〜!と言っても花よりも食べたり飲んだり話したりに夢中だったけど。Gにも是非、日本の花見を味わって欲しいね。
