2/2 Then, I visited Schmoe House & met & connected w childhood friend of Sadako Sasaki. Using Google Translate app, we bonded over stories about stolen Sadako statue & how Seattle Peace Park was made by Floyd Schmoe w help of Japanese Boy Scouts. This encounter filled me with joy

1/2 Today was the most meaningful day of my trip so far; it filled me with emotions
I felt sorrowful visiting the Hiroshima Peace Memorial on the site where the 1st atomic bomb exploded, seeing reminders (some very graphic) of the destruction & impact on so many innocent victims
