day 9, 9:06pm, surfer oji-san

so much happened today.
i was invited into a cafe where i was served a small breakfast with freshly squeezed orange juice.
i ate lots of fresh fruit that i bought at roadside stands.
after 33.5km, i was ready to stop anywhere. i found a nice beach and while i was looking around a old guy invited me to have a seat at his friends surfing hut.
he boiled some water for my noodles.
his friends were coming for a drinking party and he said i could stay. it was an interesting night. mostly old man jokes and drinking.

i've givem up alcohol for the pilgrimage, but that didn't stop them from trying to get me to drink.
going to bed now, i'm sleeping in a surf shed on the beach. i'll get a pic tomorrow,
