Inland Sea.  I cycled about 14 km which I think is almost 8 miles.  It was fun but I was stupid exhausted afterwards.  Some of these pictures are from Onomichi but some are from the islands.  Not sure which ones are which.</p>http://jadedjapan.tumblr.com/post/49500150960http://jadedjapan.tumblr.com/post/49500150960Fri, 03 May 2013 03:57:32 -0400<img

I was most looking forward to this part of my trip. This is an island that used to house chemical weapons (and reasearch) but it’s been abandoned and is now inhabited by RABBITS!!! They were so amazing and cute and wanted me to feed them and they were adorable. I hiked all the way around the island and fed rabbits and checked out abandoned buildings.</p>http://jadedjapan.tumblr.com/post/49499573536http://jadedjapan.tumblr.com/post/49499573536Fri, 03 May 2013

Hiroshima.  These photos are from the Peace Museum.  They include my meager words of encouragement, a diagram of the city before and after the bomb, a diagram with the bomb suspended over the city, two watches that stopped the moment the bomb struck, a view from the part toward the a-domb and a picture of the museum from the eternal flame.  <br/>I cried a lot and therefore drank a lot.  It was devastatingly sad, but I really enjoyed my time there. </p>http://jadedjapan.tumblr.com/post/49498369657http://jadedjapan.tumblr.com/post/49498369657Fri, 03 May 2013 02:54:18 -0400<img
