Iwakuni

On Monday we all went to Iwakuni to see the sights and meet up with our friends Kevin and Midori

The Kintai Bridge spans the Nishiki River and is made completely of wood, without nails. It was first constructed in 1673, but has been rebuilt several times over the centuries. The latest was completed in 2004. Its five arches are a symbol of western Honshu.


















Kikko Park has many fountains the kids could play in. They had a good time.



Kevin brought his new camera and contributed to the blog. The next few pictures are his.









I love this picture Kevin took!!!












Kevin is explaining the difference between Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines





Sanzoku Chicken is a local favorite. It is a peace of chicken on a big stick. Kind of like cave man eating
