day 6, 8:14pm, taking cover

again, i'm not in cellphone coverage so this post will arrive a little late.

i made it up and down the mountain this afternoon. not with enough time to get up to temple 21 before they close. with rain coming i didn't want to be stuck on the mountain, so i'm down in the valley at a henro hut. just an old empty house, but it's dry.

these two mountains i'm inbetween are 2 of the pilgrimge's 6 major nansho. a nansho being a "dangerous" place on the pilgrimage where people die, get injured or quit the pilgrimage.

i'm doing alright. last post i was going to say my feet were fine. however, this afternoon i got my first blister. i hope it doesn't slow me down tomorrow. today i stopped after 20km. despite tomorrow's nansho, i hope i can have a big day.
night
