Ahhh.... It's great to be at Max' where everything is familiar and you have to burn doodoo coils in the house because the skeeters are so bad.
It was a great drive here. On the way I went to my beloved Kasano Misaki Single track route to enjoy the rugged ocean.
Then it was over to Yamanaka to hug Max. We walked around town, ate Frank while soaking feet in hot onsen water (no funny things between toes) and had a great time.
We went to a spot where he used to play in the river as a child but hadn't been to in decades. I convinced a bunch of elderly tourists to make peace signs for a photo and then I jumped in. Cool, humid and very sweaty. Cool and sweaty. Gotta love this humidity.
We went to an onsen hotel near his place and got to see the art he has displayed there. It had increased from one piece to about 10 so thatis goodstuff!
We drove back to Komatsu, then went over to Chizu-chan's house and chatted with her for about and hour, came home and just finished curry and fried eggs.
I'm looking forward to the next five days on the bike in the rain and humidity and insects. It will be a good way to enjoy September Hokuriku just like it always is.
I love you!
Cam
Glad you had a nice trip!
ReplyDeleteDoodoo coils!
ReplyDeleteHenceforth I am referring to them as Katori Unko, and not Katori senko!
Sounds like your having a wonderful time there with your friend. I remember sitting and eating frank and soaking my toes in the hot spring, it was lovely.... your fortunate to get to share that experience often.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the bike rides, and good conversation and friendship.
