day 22, 8:55pm, long, hot days

no post last night. it was a long day. dinner was a bento on the sidewalk at 7:15pm. i went to an onsen from 8pm-9:30pm, and i got to the hut i planned to stay at 10:30pm. and \3,000,000 obosan was staying there too! i caught up to him.

so yesterday's distance was 40.6km and today's was 32.7km. there were some beautiful mountain trails in there. of course on the pilgrimage, any off-road walking is either going up or down a mountain.
i'm currently a couple blocks from temple 43. i'm also starting the return trip to temple 1. mid-point was somewhere between temples 40 and 41.

ok, i'm a bit tired.bedtime, i'll do my best to post tomorrow.
