Today was the Peace Festival in Hiroshima. It was the 61st anniversary of the bombing. It is amazing how accepting the people are of our attendance. I think they are actually glad we are there to witness it. The goal here is not to blame but to remember and make sure it doesn’t happen again.
The A Bomb dome was surrounded by wax lanterns.
We made our lantern and sent it up the river with the thousands of others. The tide was coming in so the river actually flows backwards.
This local Japanese lady was very happy to talk to us with her grand daughter (We really have to learn more Japanese).
