Japan Adventure

Me (Margie) on the train. I'm trying a juice drink with aloe in it. It's really tasty, but a little thick & lumpy toward the bottom. I imagine it's very healthy though . . .


After a 50 min train ride, we walked outside to the Streetcar track & rode a few more minutes to Hondori Street - the covered shopping street. A couple of blocks on the right, we've stopped at Andersen's Bakery to have a light sandwich lunch. Outside our window, we're watching the "Balloon Man" who's usually here making & selling his wares. We've talked to him before & he's a college student.


This little girl is very happy with her "Hello Kitty" inside a red heart!


In the flower department inside Andersen's. Hydrangeas always make me think of my friend Sue - Happy Mother's Day!


Special Mother's Day cookies for sale, but I'm here for jasmine tea. It's the only place I've been able to find it.


Looking around in Andersen's bakery . . .


Back out on Hondori Street, we've found the entrance to the subway that becomes a monorail a few stops later. We didn't even know Hiroshima had one, but Stan found it while looking for something "different" for us to do today. Thanks, Stan!


These cute HS students were very friendly and interested to know that Stan is a HS sensei (teacher).
