Group @ the A Dome
Today we woke up very early and boarded a bullet train bound for Hiroshima. The students and Patton Sensei visited Miyajima and the A Dome as well as the Hiroshima Peace Park Museum. While I went to Hiroshima with the group I ended up meeting up with them in the afternoon at the Hiroshima Carp Baseball Game (Japanese Professional Baseball). I made the choice not to go back to the peace park as it was quite emotional for me on my visit last year...I will be posting some pictures taken by the kids on that portion of the trip. The baseball game was quite the experience as the Japanese know how to cheer their team on (even though they were losing throughout the entire game). After the game we enjoyed Okonomyaki with noodles (famous in Hiroshima) and then boarded a bullet train back to Kyoto. Tomorrow we will be touring Nara..possibly doing a bit more Geisha Hunting...and hopefully ending our trip with some Japanese Style Karaoke...lets just hope Patton doesnt try to sing....one more full day left here in Japan...these two weeks have FLOWN by!
