Day two on the road and some more firsts:
- First osettai (just candy but still a nice surprise
- First blister (I’ll spare you photos)
- First ten temples done*
- First fruit since I landed (clif bars were becoming meals there for a bit) Man did a banana hit the spot!
Would have got 11 temples but I arrived half an hour late. Happenstance took me to a very nice ryokan (Japanese style hotel) where I’m writing this.
No Internet yet so please bear with, you’re going to be reading this after the fact.
One thing I’ve learned quick is that if you don’t watch the poles, you get lost quick, even with a map. The reason is that whereas the trail is actually well marked. It’s well marked with small stickers with all kinds of designs on them. When I have nothing more interesting to post.
And now the pix… I think most speak for themselves and I haven’t got the hang of this mobile interface yet so pardon me if I don’t comment on these one by one just yet.
