Nothing says Christmas Day like a visit to the Atomic Bomb Museum. As good a day as any, my first visit to Hiroshima was very moving. The museum was terrific and seeing the ruins of the Atomic dome lit up at night was surreal. I took pictures from all angles.
Walking around the city, it's hard to imagine the horror that occurred on that day. It's a beautiful place and on Christmas, the streets were glowing with the most impressive light displays I'd ever seen. Some Japanese teenagers treated us like rock stars and asked for pictures.
We capped it all off with a five course Christmas dinner at an excellent Italian restaurant by the water. Yes, they serve Italian food in Japan. Yes, the Japanese were the ones cooking the food. And yes, it tasted just like the real thing.
