Willi can't see the forest for the cherry trees. Some people in traditional Korean clothes got lost and ended up at the Cherry Blossom Festival.

Escaping the cherry trees for a while, we checked out a traditional Japanese court dance. Here, the dance troupe is announced. Traditional Japanese court dances are very slow and mannered, making them a sharp contrast to the noisy, chaotic, and energetic Brooklyn audience. Moreover, I can't say I followed the plot. However, the dance was a wonderful spectacle.

"Hey look", say I, "there's more cherry trees over there!" Tiring of the trees, we retired to the visitor's center.

On the way we caught a glimpse of the hothouse. This may not be the best composed photo I have shot, but it does hint at the nice job the Garden has done in restoring the interior of the visitor's center.
