It's 5:45am on Sunday as I type these words. Just thought squeeze in a quick photo blog before going to bed. This is just a random selection of pics I took of the show by Furia Flamenca in the Cherry Blossom Festival in the Tidal Basin. Enjoy!

As soon as the show was over around 3:30pm, I rushed off. There were a ton of things I had to take care of before my show at Tapeo that night. Not to mention that there were some rain clouds approaching, and I was still at least a 15-minute walk away from the nearest metro without an umbrella!
Here are a couple of scenic shots of the Tidal Basin I took as I walked briskly to the metro. Note the dark rain clouds in the distance!

The cherry blossoms were gone already, but fortunately, I did get some nice pics last week.
Furia Flamenca is one of several companies that will be performing next Sunday, April 20th, at Centro Español de Washington's Feria de Sevilla on the grounds of Strathmore in Bethesda. For more information about Furia Flamenca, visit their official website.
As for tonight, Sunday, I might go support my fellow flamencos at Vinoteca. Who wants to go?
