Hiroshima Day 4

Our last day in Hiroshima and the skies have cleared. Today, we decided to go to the Atomic Bomb museum. It's a quite confronting museum, as you would imagine, with many images and fragments of what remained after the bomb. Personally, I found the stories of individual struggles, during and long afterwards, to be the most poignant. The museum was packed, a lot busier than the last time we visited in 2017.

As we walked back towards the shopping street, we noticed that lineup outside our okonomoyaki restaurant, Nagataya, was very short. It was okonomoyaki for lunch today! We ordered our meals while we waited in line. The place was little changed from 2017, and the food was great. We sat in a booth but close to the front counter, so we could see all the food preparation action. We shared a seafood okonomoyaki, some gyoza, and some beers.

In the evening, we went to our hotel rooftop bar, played some cards, and had a couple of drinks. We weren't sure what we'd do for dinner, so we went for a stroll around the shopping and dining precinct. On a whim, we checked out Number 3, the steak restaurant, and settled for our third meal there in 4 days. Three meals at Number 3 seemed only sensible. We ordered the same as the previous dinner but just 100g steak this time. Omg, this place is awesome; we're going to miss it.
