Japan - Hiroshima

Hiroshima was our last stop on our tour of Japan. For us, a must-see. The Hiroshima Peace Park and museum were sad and hopeful at the same time. It is overwhelming to see the damage our country inflicted on other people. And hopeful to see how a city could come back from that incident with such a message of hope and peace instead of anger. Inspiring.

Here are our pictures:

Japan - Hiroshima


We spent the last of our Yen at a great import grocery store at the Hiroshima airport. Gum, candy, Quik, Thai curry pastes, chips, root beer, chili beans. Yes, we love food!

And here was our welcoming committee when we arrived home...we live in a great community!
