day 32, 9:06pm, interesting night

i spent last night with 5 old homeless henro in a small snack bar that has been turned into a sort of henro hostel.

it was friendly and i believe some of the old guys are quite well-known in shikoku as henro.

the place was a little dodgy though. i was dry, that's the important thing.

tonight i'm alone at an outdoor shelter. i didn't quite make it to temple 65. tomorrow i've got a bunch of hills to climb. apparently, temple 66 is the highest temple on the pilgrimage and the most difficult 'nansho'.
we'll see how that goes.

today's weather was good, i hope it holds out till tomorrow.
no snakes these days.
the north side of the island is significantly drier than the south. i've seen a number of geckos, but i'm not going to be starting a gecko count. :)

night.
