		| April 10, 2011 - Yoshino Mountain - Hanami. Made 
					the annual trip up Yoshino Mountain to see the cherry 
					blossoms in bloom, known in Japanese as hanami. The trees 
					traverse the entire mountain and due to the differences in 
					elevation, you can see the cherry blossoms in various stages 
					of bloom. |  
		| April 30, 2011 - House - Hanami Party. Went 
					to the hundred yen store and bought some fake cherry 
					blossoms for this hanami, aka flower viewing, party. It got 
					a few laughs from friends. |  |
