day 12, 1:33pm, 23km before lunch

i'm feeling great today. the rain and wind were not that bad last night, and i got a good sleep.

i set out early today. it was raining a bit until 11am but from aki city to konan city there was a great bike path that got me off the highway for the whole morning.

i really enjoyed the walk. i passed a lot of greenhouses full of tomatoes, eggplants and red peppers, so when i passed by a farmers market around noon i just had to get some vegetables for a salad.

so right now i'm eating a big fresh salad with some tofu (for protein!) and dressing.

i'm off to temples 28 and 29 today. also, i think i have a free place to stay tonight which has showers and a washing machine, so i really am feeling great.
thanks for the e-mails everybody, keep them coming.
