day 25, 7:53pm, no rain!

no rain yet atleast. i don't know where it went. last night's forcast said it's supposed to rain all week.

i'm sleeping next to \3M obosan again tonight. our walking paces are about the same, and there are only so many places to stay. unless i put in 39km tomorrow we'll probably at the same shelter again.
i made it to temples 44 and 45. temple 45 was very much like the stereotypical asian mountain temple where the martial arts hero goes before he (or she) starts kicking butts. it was pretty cool.

and the best part of temple 45 is that it's on the side a steep mountain which has no road, no gondola, no cable car. so the bus and car henro have to sweat out the 20 minute climb to get to the temples. it's not very "buddha" of me to enjoy the suffering of others, but it did make me smile (a little).

29.3km today. snake count 22! (that one scared me good)

going to temples 46 and 47 tomorrow.
