Going To Hiroshima!! By Izzy
8-7-17
Today we woke up, and Matsumoto-san and Madoka-san made us a Japanese style breakfast with fish, rice, and miso soup. It rained a lot and Typhoon 5 was passing. We took the Shinkansen to Hiroshima, and Rumi's friend Haruna met us at the train station and helped us around Hiroshima.
We went to our Air BnB to drop our stuff off and then we walked around the peace park. We saw Sadako's statue and cranes that were made for her. There were so many cranes of all different colors. It made me happy to see that so many people folded cranes for her. We also went to the Hiroshima museum to learn about the bombing of Hiroshima. I was sad to see the damage from the bomb and the injuries that people got from the burns. It was sad but I learned a lot!
We met up with Rumi and Souri when we were shopping and had okonomiyaki for dinner. I also found another cat store called Country Cat. I got a cat bag and a small cat plushie.

Hi Izzy - Thank you for your note on Hiroshima and the Peace Park. It brings back my memory as my son and I were there in April as well. I am enjoying your journal. Miki
