HAPPY EASTER, the decorations in the Grand Lobby




















Whipping soap


Beautiful, plastic food




Waiters singing to entice customers


A lovely roof





A really beautiful obi



The ceiling of the bus stop







He's everywhere!


On the bus, back to the ship

Hiroshima

Sailing in





 A bus ride into town



Tried to get a cover for the tablet but no one spoke English.  See ad below!!



No free publicity

Baseball is very important







Arm cover??

The fruit is well-cared-for





The Donald is everywhere




All in English




The line of schoolgirls sat patiently, in the cold, on concrete, for more than 30 minutes.  Then....




The took turns, painting the canvas in different colors, with large mop heads,


The drummers continued throughout



We watched and wondered......



The wrote and wrote; we could see both English letters and Japanese characters





 "Queen Elizabeth", Bon Voyage -- what a wonderful gesture.  Thank you, Hiroshima, for a warm welcome!
