1st day in Hiroshima

Today we headed out from Kyoto to Hiroshima after spending a great 4 days there. Hiroshima turned out to be greys skies and showers, which created the right atmosphere for what we were about to visit - the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. Seeing the images of the tragedy that befell Hiroshima on that day in August 1945 really almost brought me to tears - no one should have to go through the horrors that the people of Hiroshima went through after the A-Bomb hit. It really does highlight to me the sinfulness of man, and the absolutely hopeless situation that we're all in, if not for Jesus.

Turning to food, Hiroshima really served it up to us really well; I had two great meals here so far, one of a seafood combo thing with prawns, mussels, etc in a light batter served with rice and miso soup and one other with pork chop, prawn and beef in an omlette with rice and miso soup; both were absolutely superb.

Anyhow, I'm being kicked off this computer, so I'd better say goodbye.

Signing out,

Lawrence
