Today was a hybrid day. In the morning, we visited the Hiroshima Peace Park and Museum. This site is centered around the blast site of the bomb that was dropped on August 6, 1945 (79th anniversary was recently observed). Click here for our reflections.
The morning marked the end of our official tour. We then took 2 bullet trains (Shinkansen) to the site of the symposium, Hamamatsu.
After making our way to our hotel, where we’ll set up camp for the next week, we found our luggage, and made our way to our end of tour dinner.
We had a wonderful time celebrating the past week and are now ready for the symposium week ahead. We told the kids to enjoy their morning off tomorrow, because starting Monday afternoon we are off to the races!

Hope you got my comment from the other day about staying in Tokyo when a small quake happened. I can’t find it.
I’m following your wonderful reporting closely, love all the pix and travel details. I’m sure all audiences are enchanted by your music-making! Kathryn Phelps Summers
