Hiroshima

We visited Hiroshima again. We did not do Miyajima again, mainly because we were tired, so we instead shopped around for a bit before heading back home.

Hiroshima is very interesting, but quite depressing. On August 6th, it will be the 70th anniversary of the bombing, so it was ramping up for that. Part of the Peace Museum was closed, and the grounds were being prepared for it. In addition, there was an effort of a group called Kids' Guernica; we met a man named Nobuyuki Ookame who showed us their campaign against nuclear war using children's art.

Afterwards, we had Hiroshima-style Okonimiyaki, which was quite good. There was a hot area on the table to keep the food warm, and the restaurant boasted having both English and Vegetarian menus.

Mine is in the bottom right; it had dried garlic flakes on it, which were amazing.

We are going to pack up tonight, because we're leaving for our Ryokan tomorrow; I'm not sure what the internet situation will be there, so you may or may not hear from us then.
