Hiroshima City

---

After a relaxing Shinkansen ride, I arrived in Hiroshima. Here, the main attractions relate to the atomic blast that occured in 1945.

My first and only night in Hiroshima I rented a bicycle. It was great fun and a nice break from walking cruising around the city. Riding around at night, I was able to get some great shots of the A-Dome, one of the last perserved buildings near ground zero from the blast.

My last day in Japan I visited the Peace Park Memorial Museum, a large-scale, well-organized, and objective presentation of information surrounding the blast. I found it an extremely informative and sombering experience. I learned a lot about the devestation of nuclear war and the importance of controlling nuclear proliferation.

I was a bit sad to leave Japan, but I had to move on. I hope to come back for perhaps at least a summer in the near future.

Gummies!
One of my favorite types of gummy back home is imported from Japan. Imagine my delight when I get here and find 30 more varieties!
