#took all January to recover 😔 but then we went back to our favorite city Hiroshima

Not my usual but I have to share this somewhere because my heart has been so heavy with grief.

Lil backstory. When my now husband and I were first dating, cows and rabbits kind of became our mascots because of how often we saw them when we were together traveling to see each other. So both of those animals are sacred to us.

We try to go to bunny island as much as possible. This year, my husband took me for Valentine’s Day and it felt very…empty? There were these little dens in the hills that baby bunnies would come out of for food that we joked were the “caves of knowledge” because you had to answer king bunny’s riddles (king bunny was a lil rabbit who hung out at the entrance lol). But going back this week, there were no bunnies there. We met a local friend who also goes to the bunny island frequently and he informed us that a man was arrested in January for kicking a bunny but is linked to nearly 100 rabbit deaths. I’m so devastated…those little bunnies in their cave of knowledge :( I wondered why the daffodils that bloomed were uneaten :/

Police now patrol the island (it is very small so no police before) but it is very upsetting. I’ve been bummed all week after learning about this.

I will share pics of friends I got this trip because even though such a horrible thing has happened, there are still many in good health and being quite cute.
