Veteran's Day Trip to Miyajima Island 11/11/10

Today is Veteran's Day (Happy Veteran's Day Stan and all Veterans!) It's an American holiday, so we've decided to go to Miyajima Island for oysters and autumn leaves viewing. We're driving over the river bridge that leads into downtown Iwakuni & we'll turn right onto Rte 2 to head toward Miyajima (and Hiroshima beyond). To our left & below this road is the pedestrian bridge that we usually ride our bikes over. If you're a regular reader, you've seen pictures from that perspective of this bridge . . .


Pretty entranceway to someone's house.


Not as many cars today - since it's mid-morning on a Thursday - work day in Japan.
