The blossoms are at <i>least</i> as pretty as cherry, and twice as big, so I never felt deprived.Ellenhttp://washuu.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-10911806917434510402012-05-05T13:58:31.741-04:002012-05-05T13:58:31.741-04:00Dru, so you took those escalators, too.

Of course, the 'tourists' are sightseeing and don't realize the 'escalator rule' is 'stand on the right and walk on the left.'<br /><br />We had such beautiful warm weather early so the cherry blossoms were early, too.

After all we can always get pictures of them.<br /><br />Also, I've always dreaded those endlessly long DC escalators - one time I caught my skirt along the side -- don't know what would have happened if I hadn't been young and strong enough to yank it out before I fell!Camille Minichinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04701150885595400018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-28843177705252016002012-05-04T10:40:37.533-04:002012-05-04T10:40:37.533-04:00How fun that you took the time to visit so many gr...How fun that you took the time to visit so many great sights, Betty.
