day 26, 2:16pm, mushi atsui!

in other words, hot and humid.

wow, it's hot. i'm out of the mountains and just entering matsuyama city.

i'll try to reach temple 51 before they close at 5pm. there is a youth hostel nearby if i don't make it.

i thought i'd try to break away from \3M obosan. i've spent 4 of the last 5 nights with him. also, if i can make it to temple 51, i can go to dogo onsen this evening.

dogo onsen is considered to be the oldest and most well known onsen in japan. i'm looking forward to it.

later,
