It was Easter! I woke up my mom told me to look right by the door. I looked and I got a present. It was a letter from my mom saying happy Easter and I got more of my favorite candies. We headed downstairs to get some breakfast at the breakfast buffet. We headed to the Peace Memorial where we got an audio tour around the museum. It was sad. The atomic bomb killed almost 200,000 people. The hydrogen bomb is 1000 times more powerful than the atomic bomb. There is fusion and there is fission. The Atomic bomb used fission where the atoms were split into many other elements. The hydrogen bomb uses fusion where it pushes atoms together to get a big explosion. It was so hot that it even melted a little girl's trike from 3.5km away. They had a globe showing all the nuclear weapons and how many each country had. The country that had the most was Russia, then America. I don't remember the rest. The atomic bomb went up to 3000 Celcius and around 600 miles an hour wind. 30 minutes after the bomb went off there was fire and big smoke clouds on the ground. The watches stopped exactly when the bomb went off at 8:15.
After the Memorial we headed to church where it was a small but sweet church. We were able to find church because there were two missionaries standing out front. Sacrament meeting was in Japanese but there was a translator what everyone was saying into English. We had a little ear phone that we could listen to the translation. Then after church we took a train, then took a ferry to Miyajima Island.
At the island we walked around and saw the giant orange gate in the water where we also the shrine. The shrine was all on the water. The aquarium there was especially cool. It had such cool fish like eels and penguins walking through the halls, even octopuses and sting rays. They had the biggest sea lions I have ever seen in my life. After the aquarium we started to head back. This time we took a boat all the way to the A Bomb Dome instead of taking the train back and taxi. When we got back to the hotel we picked up our bags and headed to the train station where we hung out and got onto the train.
When we got to the hotel. It might have been even cooler than the Ritz Carlton. We are on the 54th floor and we have a sweet room. I have a whole room to myself. There are huge panorama windows and heated floors and jet bath. For dinner we went for Tepanyaki on the 57th floor of the hotel. Tepanyaki was so delicious. The beef and mushrooms were so good! We played a little pin ball game also. My mom won once, I won the other. When I got back to the room, I just chilled in my room.
