This young lady is named Yoshie. She's a college student in Hiroshima, and she and two of her friends (Kaye and Yumiko) escorted me all around the town, including the shopping areas, getting on the bullet train, and, of course, McDonalds! (Melody #004A1113)

Melody recently made her first trip to Japan with author Sharon M. Draper. In this photo, they are at Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park. In the background of the photo, the A-Bomb Dome can be seen. This building was one of the few left standing with the first atom bomb exploded over Hiroshima the morning of August 6, 1945. It has been preserved and now stands as a symbol for lasting peace.
