Hiroshima

The A-Bomb Dome is near the hypocenter. There was a debate about whether to preserve it, and now the city leaves it standing as a reminder.

Cookie Monster and BearDog visited the Peace Park across the street.

Every time there is a nuclear weapon test, the Mayor of Hiroshima sends a letter of protest.

There is a ferry that goes to Miyajima Island.

The island has lots of cute roaming deer. This one was resting. Also it is not as cute.

Cookie Monster and BearDog pose in front of the floating torii. It was first built in the 12th century and has been replaced several times.

I went there too.
