Japan Adventure

A short walk through Hondori Shopping Street & we've arrived at Molly Malone's. Mark & his son are hanging out today. Boy is he getting big! His mom got the day off for Mother's Day & they're leaving to meet her soon for dinner.


Kampai Nancy & Eldon! We always think of them when we're here. . .


Stan's starting with his regular cabbage.


Then he had roast pork, with potatoes & more cabbage & a tiny container of fresh applesauce. He said it was delicious! I had my regular veggie quiche & salad, but forgot to take a pic. Oops. Guess I was hungry . . .


After a delicious dinner & rest, we're back out on the street waiting for the streetcar in downtown Hiroshima. Time to start heading for home.


And after just a few minutes' ride, we're back at Hiroshima Station.


After a restful 50 min train ride back to Iwakuni - during which I think we both dozed! Now we're back on our bikes waiting at a crossing. This was interesting - see the red arrows under the two red lights on the right side? That means there's a train coming from each direction, so we'll have a bit of a wait - but it's never very long because trains are always short here. This is the narrow "shortcut" road that heads from Hwy 188 along the river to the pedestrian/bike bridge.


And back on the bridge. In just a few minutes, we'll be back home. Great day!
