12 June 2008 Today in the park
As I described in my previous post, today Genbo, Zoe and I went with Anthony and his dad Jeffrey up into the hills near my house. At the very top was a small military graveyard. More on that later, but I just downed a big glass of beer, and I don’t feel like sleeping quite yet, so I thought I would just throw these up for now. First two photos taken by Jeffrey.
The engraved inscription reads, “To the memory of all fallen soldiers from the Sino-Japanese War, Russo-Japanese War, WWI, and WWII.” Genbo wanted to climb up and start throwing the stones, and wanted me to explain why he couldn’t. After a second’s thought I resorted to the all-powerful, “Because I said so!”
