Nagasaki

Glover Garden

Glover Garden is a quaint Japanese garden nestled in the hillside overlooking the city. I saw the biggest coy I had ever seen!

In the distance is the harbor and the city of Nagasaki.

These are my absolutely favorite flowers! These flowers were so vibrant!

Sarie and I had a mock tea party on the deck of the Glover cottage.

This fountain was one of my favorites. 

Brennan and I look just like Glover :)

Just another scenic shot...

The garden had several ponds and waterfalls. 

Back in Town

This is a historically significant Catholic church. It has definitely stood the test of time.

The sweetest woman sold us this ice cream. It was vanilla rice milk ice cream and she made the cone in the shape of a rose. 

We found a little hole in the wall for lunch on our way to the atomic bomb museum. This was the best 500 yen meal of all time! It was rice with a bunch of random things in it like squid, chicken, lime green jelly things, some hot pink jelly things, veggies, and a pasty yellowish sauce. What a delicacy!

Peace Park

After visiting the atomic bomb museum, we went to the hypocenter of the bomb. This statue was there. To the right are hundreds of origami cranes, which symbolize peace.

This is a statue in the Peace Park. His left arm points to the bomb's hypocenter. The right hand points up to the sky and represents peace and tranquility. The Peace Park is filled with statues and monuments that remind us of the impact of the bomb and offer hope for harmony.
