Nagasaki


We went to Nagasaki by the limited express which took two hours each way. It rained most of the way and for the rest of the day.
Nevertheless we did see some temples

Look at that cycad!
And some views
The Municipal Art Museum (only one exhibit was open but they have a Picasso, a Dali and a Miro) and the Nagasaki Culture and History Museum which we would have spent much more time in if they had more information in English. Dejima drew it all together. That is the island where the European traders were confined during their 3+ centuries of exclusive trade with Japan. . . except that the Chinese has their own trading enclave at the same time.
This is a model of Dejima in Dejima.
