Lunch today in Hiroshima City University Cafeteria for 400yen = $3.50: little dishes of warm sliced okra with scallions, tofu with bonito flakes and scallions, steamed pumpkin slices, bowl of rice.
+++++++++++++ all i can do is talk to myself and take too many photographs with too many cameras......awe.......this time is a gift......
Kiyoko Komeyoshi telling her A-Bomb survival story. I have never heard one in which ALL family members survive! Those little slippers on the table are like the ones she walked for hours in right after the bomb - over hot burning railroad tracls and charred earth....here is a map showing her route
