Tears twice in Hiroshima
... blogging...no internet then having too much fun...if anyone is reading...? Say hello. Will pick up where I left off...in Hiroshima. The mountainous islands are shrouded in mist, which seems to bode ominously for our planned trip to Miyajima island today. ...
Hiroshima
... just like a flight, really -- and visited so many shrines and things, it's hard to describe. Would definitely recommend Hiroshima to anyone going to Japan. Also, little known area-- there is a place with Buddha's ashes. It's called the Peace Pagoda. Not ...
