Day 9:  A Day in DC

7/3/2018

It was a hot but fun day in Washington, D. C.  First we visited the Japanese Embassy's Japanese Cultural Center.  We were able to talk to graduates of the JET program (Japan Exchange & Teaching) and receive instructions in ikebana (flower arranging Japanese style).   Next, we headed to the Smithsonian Freer-Sackler Asia to America Museum, where we were treated to a docent's tour of the Japanese exhibits.  Finally, we made our way to the National Arboretum.  The Japanese bonzai exhibit was amazing!
