Came back from a very different trip to Japan last week. It was not about sightseeing or about the ancient and exotic wonders in Japan that tourists traditionally visit. But it was a very powerful experience nevertheless, attending the two peace memorials honoring the victims of the a-bombs dropped in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, visiting museums and historical sites, multiple meetings with hibakusha (a-bomb survivors) and peace activists, which my colleagues and I immensely enjoyed. The group made a 13 hour stop in Seoul on the way to Hiroshima, where I met the Erskine alumni Niki , and Lee Carroll as well as the 3 month old Audrea Carroll. They all look great!
