Early in the spring-time we spent a Sunday afternoon and hiked Hiroshima's Silver Peace Pagoda. The pagoda is on top of Mt. Futaba-yama just north of Hiroshima station. You spend about 40 minutes hiking to the top and are greeted with amazing views of Hiroshima Bay and views of the city. On your way up to the top you visit two shines; the Tōshō-gū Shrine and the Kinkō Inari Shrine. It was a great way to get all of the kids' energy out after 3 hours of church!
The day before Luke participated in a baseball clinic featuring Kenta Kurihara, a 1st baseman for the professional Japanese league Hiroshima Carp baseball team. Luke was the only "Gaijin" (foreigner) to attend. He had no idea who Kurihara San was but all the other kids went crazy when he arrived and participated in the some training skills with the kids.
