広島への旅
1泊2日で広島へ行ってきました。
第一の目的は平和公園を訪れること。
思ったより小さい、という声も耳にした原爆ドームはしかし、魂を揺さぶる声を上げていました。
資料館はとにかく大変な人の数で、じっくり見ることが出来ず残念。でも多くの人、とりわけ外国人の姿も多く、が訪れるということはいいことだ、と納得。
We went to Hiroshima for an overnight trip.
Our objective was to visit Hiroshima Peace Memorial.
I heard some people say, "it's smaller than I thought," but to me, Atomic Bomb Dome cried out something very powerful.
It's a pity that we couldn't see exhibit carefully in the Museum due to so many people, but I convinced myself that it's good to have so many people, expecially people from abroad, here.
Before going to Peace Park, the first thing we did in Hiroshima was to eat Okonomiyaki, Hiroshima-style pancake containing noodle, cabbage, eggs, seafood, pork and oyster. It was gorgeous and tasted good, but sauce was too sweet to me.
平和公園を後にした後は厳島神社へ行き、まだ少し時間があったので岩国の錦帯橋まで足を伸ばしました。思ったより壮麗でよかったです。写真は娘と私の後姿。私はン十年ぶりに自作したスカートを穿いています。ウエストゴムでオバサンの旅には楽チン便利でした。
After Peace Park, we visited Itsukushima Shinto Shrine. As we still had time, we went to Iwakuni to see Kintaikyo Bridge. That was far grand and beautiful than I imagined. The picture shows my daughter and I walking on the bridge. I wore the skirt I made for the first time in decades. Its elasticized waistband is comfortable and convenient for obasan like me during the trip.
On the second day, we visited the Old Imperial Naval Academy. In beautiful, magnificent site, I contemplated many aspects of war.
