Today was a nice return visit to Nagasaki…. The sail into Nagasaki is just so beautiful… That alone made my day! Once we were docked, I was ready to go. I left the ship early with John… we got our day pass for the Streetcar and we were off. I had an excellent, albeit sobering, trip here last year. The events of August 9th 1945 when the second Atomic bomb was dropped here creates a different kind of atmosphere. I returned to the Peace Park, Ground Zero and the Atomic Bomb Museum. It was certainly much more active than the last time I was here. School kids were here in droves, taking tours, receiving lectures and even singing at ground zero. It was a nice return visit. We then we out by the Nagasaki JR train station where we had lunch, got a little WiFi and hit a few shops. Then we went to the Hamanomachi Shopping Arcade where we sat with George & Jonathan for a while so we could check emails. China Town was our last stop before heading back to the ship. It was a wonderful day!!!

Is it just me, or is it weird that Nagasaki, Japan has a China Town?
