Hiroshima and Miyajima

Our next stops include a visit to the A-bomb dome and Peace Park and museum in Hiroshima AND the island of Miyajima. The weather FINALLY started to cool down a bit and we were thrilled! We stayed at a ryokan on Miyajima, which is a traditional Japanese inn where we dressed in yukata (summer cotton kimono) and ate and slept on the floor -- it was a neat experience!
