Day 46 - Magical Miyajima
... a walking stick got on and Rick got up and offered his seat. You would have thought he had given her a winning lottery ticket, she spent so long bowing and thanking him that the tram started up and she nearly fell into the seat!! When she got off she stopped and gave him a very deep and formal bow, again in thanks. We saw more and more houses as we went further long.

The park also has a great museum explaining the events leading up to the A-bomb attack and the effects on the people. It was very interesting. I spent a lot of time there.
While at Peace Park there were many different school groups everywhere. I was ...
