When the girls were in town we had a busy second day hitting the "sites" of Iwakuni and Miyajima Island. The good thing about the day is that it wasn't super sunny but it was still super ridiculously hot. I think Alison and I were happy to just sit at the top of Iwakuni Castle all day because of the nice breeze and we were finally cooling down, oh yeah it was like 9am. People I am not kidding on how hot it is in Japan, yes I understand the East Coast has had a record hot summer but this weather is indescribable.
At Miyajima: Unfortunately, the tide was out but it was still cool that the girls could walk down and underneath the Tori. It was so ridiculously hot that by the time we walked to the cable car we looked and felt like we ran one of those crazy 100 mile races and we got some extremely odd looks from the Marines coming down from the cable car, they should have sent some paramedics. When we got to the top of the mountain I was extremely happy that the girls did not want to trek to the other side and when I showed Alison where it was she too was so happy.
Kintai Bridge and Iwakuni Castle: I am proud of my little town!
This was the girls reaction to my "asking" them to take the picture. We definitely entertained a little old Japanese lady, she started laughing.
