Trip to Hiroshima

Went on a trip to Hiroshima with Josh's parents during their visit. Visited Hiroshima city with them, then went to a fireworks festival on an Island called Miyajima, which was fantastic, but sooo crowded. The next day they had to leave for Hokkaido, but I stayed for the day and explored Hiroshima castle on my own.

August 15th:
Hiroshima Castle. I spent about 3 hours in the museum inside.

Saw this shirt while waiting for the train back to Shimonoseki; I just thought it was funny since the guy probably had no idea what it said...(he and his friend also had McDonald's cups in their hands which made it funnier).
It took me about four hours to get back on the local (slow) train.
