Hiroshima, famous as the first city to be destroyed by a nuclear bomb. It is actually a very pleasant city of over one million people, built over several islands on a river delta. None of the buildings are over 66 years old because of what happened August 6, 1945, when the bomb was dropped. Picture above is in the Peace Memorial Park of a friend in front of the A-bomb Dome, the only building preserved near the epicenter of the explosion.
The building was a Prefecture (State Government) building. The photo shows before and after the attack.
Destroyed in seconds!
Picture of clock from museum exhibit frozen at the instant of the explosion.
The museum at the park gives a well balanced view of the events, well done. Above is a photo of some of the survivors. Over 200,000 people died by the end of 1945.
The mall area of the Peace Park.
Met Simon and Monica again in Hiroshima. Cain went ahead to catch a ferry to Hokkaido. Above, Monica and some Jehovah's`s Witnesses in the park. They`re everywhere!

Hiroshima, an attractive city, with lots of bridges and as elsewhere in Japan, friendly, helpful people.
