Hiroshima

Hiroshima can be an awkward place for an American to visit. World War II analysis and justifications aside (there are numerous arguments for and against Truman's decision), we still carry a passport from the country that leveled their town with a nuclear bomb only 60 years ago. And, it's not unusual to be sitting on the tram amongst a few people who were living here that day.

The A-bomb dome (one of the few buildings that survived the "flash blast") is a part of the peace memorial park here. Most of the photos are of this park and the surroundings inlcuding the picture of the eerilly odd flower box located on the bridge that was used as the target by the bomber on the Enola Gay. (Is that song weird to put on there or what...)
