Nanjing

Public transportation has made our traveling much less hectic, since our comings and goings are gated by train or bus departures. With two days in Nanjing, we decided to make this a slow day. We slept in, arranged for a city tour for tomorrow and our hotel for Ta’ain. Then we headed to the Memorial of the Nanjing Massacre. The exhibits document the atrocities committed by Japanese soldiers against the civilian population during their occupation of Nanjing in 1937. The museum was quite moving. They had photos taken by Japanese army photographers of executions and mass graves. They had a viewing hall built over a mass grave of massacre victims.
Lunch was at Henry’s Home Café…pizza and good Western food- although the waiter drove John absolutely crazy.
