Coming such a long way only to see a broken dome and a the surrounding
[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroshima_Peace_Memorial_Park|park]] might seem crazy,
but it was definitely worth it. One of the most dramatic moments of human history
-happened right here not long ago, and survivors of about my father's age can tell
-their personal stories with the help of black and white photographs and melted items
-from the museum.

As usual, I couldn't refrain from taking [[Pictures/vacation/japan_2009/Hiroshima|a load of photos]] here too.
These probably can't deliver the pain in the chest one gets by visiting the museum,
