Peace Memorial Park

Today has been a very emotional day with lots of reflecting and thinking. We started our day at the Peace Memorial Park and the A-Bomb Dome. It is a very quiet and serene place on the river.



We met with a gentleman who lived through the atomic bombing of Hiroshima as a 16 year old. He is a retired teacher and was the best presenter.



His speech was extremely moving as he described the day of the bombing and the succeeding days.

We moved on to the area of the park where we hung our 1000 origami cranes. Do you see the one you made? There are now 100 paper cranes in Hiroshima from our Cobbles kids!
