Akashi Kaikyo Bridge

Last week we visited the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. It is the longest suspension bridge in the world. Twice as long as the George Washington in NYC. The bridge connects Honshu, the main island of Japan, to Shikoku, the smallest of the four main islands.

As we walked along the waterfront park, we watched giant tankers and
cargo ships pass under the bridge. M, S, and E enjoyed collecting
shells along the sandy beach. We were surprised to find this gigantic
sculpture of a bagel along the way.
