Hiroshima

Hiroshima beckoned to us so we decided to ride the “high speed” boat right to the A-bomb dome. It was much faster (and more expensive) that the usual route we have taken in the past, although not as peaceful as the sailboat (though I must admit the bridges were WAY to low to have even thought of taking a sailboat through). Cindee, Steve and Jeff spent the day roaming through Peace Park and the museum while I roamed through the streets of town (one can only handle so much sadness and I’ve reached my limit). I took in Hiroshima Castle – or rather what has been rebuilt of it, while I waited for the stores to open – believe it or not it was 11:00 before they opened their doors in the underground shopping area. They certainly didn’t learn THAT from us.
Sad to say, this particular adventure has come to an end...Cindee and Steve are already home by now...amazing how quickly things end when you're having fun.
