day 21, 8:39am, good-bye kochi, hello ehime!

no post yesterday. i just wasn't up to it. it was a tough day.
it rained all day yesterday which wasn't to bad by itself. however at about 1pm i missed a turn and ended up hiking up the wrong mountain. the path looked good, but when i got to the top and started down the otherside the path started getting narrower and narrower until there was no path.

it was fairly disheartening. i sang a few rounds of the banana boat song to get my spirits up and headed back down.

i rejoined the trail around 4pm. it was to late to make it to temple 40, so i decided to stop at p shelter on the mountain i was supposed to climb.

the quy, moto nagano, i was staying with the night before was there. i got in pretty late, and we were both pretty wet so there wasn't much conversation this time. i ate some cucumbers and a cold curry boil-in-a-bag(curry bon) before i went to bed. mice ate my raisin bread before i woke up (only some). :)

i'm up early today. the mountain i was on marked the border of kochi and ehime, so now i'm in ehime!
the clouds are opening up and it looks kike blue skies today.
i hope i don't lose my way again. :)
