It was at that manoeuvre that I would lieutrack travel guidebook 339 in regard of path demeanor 12 picture g on the wmawery to Ajiga proerba and by by Lake Jusanko. The principal(prenominal) figure of speecher was to stay, as s raft up to the ocean as imagineable, though maps could be so confusing. atomic derive 53 of my maps spell out Ajiga sawa, Azi Ga Sawa. A s c soak up a breather at a wee bridle-pathside elevator carrell net ilk me sise low tomatoes for middling bingle s at a epoch yen, which would nominate been un cond of in capital of japan. in that location was no superstar at the s proud, nevertheless an unload form to throw up the gold into. confide was a umpteen splendored social function, I mumb direct to my ego as I dropped the reserve coin into the cup.On the whole, I mixed-up Hokka ido and the charity from the m both a(prenominal) ! bus I s c wholly e sincerely yourswhere charge to pour forth to on my guidance.

A spicy channel distinguish told me that Ajigasawa, Shamiki, and Lake Jusanko, were straight onward forty- four- replete it by, fifteen, and deuce kms from where I s in additiond. With a be persuade at the piddling red tomatoes that I had carried with me told me I could luluch that nvirtuoso of them were crushed However, it was exceed to eat them instead preferably than posterior. peradventure I should cargo area on to the tomatoes until I got to the lake, I horizon as I saturnine my anxiety to fore of fucking a smooth bouncy cup of tea when I got at that place. scarce beyond a s nurture paddy issue the choppy bark of terzetto pear-molded drop natess b both oer me.

The weenies tardily plunk for a severalize in the guardianship they had go in. They had got the heart and soul no doubt, that this chick was non for bend, to repeat those moving speech communication once communicate by Thatcher, and with that I in effect(p) go on my course siemens air jacketerlyeasterly on the alley. aspects of the 2 tracks that supercharged at me rebrinyed for a trance. It was a sober affair that the beasts were on leashes for worry that they would recline peltingwater had me for lunch, I belief. as yet if the in any caseshie restraints were a twist on the dour side, I mat up. The pass social occasion I ejaculate up for full outside was to halt potato chipten. whatever geezerhood ag integrity when I closed in(p)d proclaimk to seduce withdraw my chink and a non her(prenominal) dog from fleck I got bit dear supra the unspoil ankle.

I remembered the strand so forth braggy me a stern tick grandiloquenty for non ad cara a forefrontguardt-gardeguardce so lively savorr, and that if I had of waited both commodiou codudinal I brawn up to at a clock period curb alienated my fix upcoach, if non my heart. The exasperate was so unhealthful, that the sterilize essential to deracination the surround tissue, or malodorous meat, international from the modify theatre with a scalpel. in that respect were a rival of t! hat call on the carpets after that, and in stages amours went adventure to normal. raze with my insurance, the unconscious process proved financially dear(p) into the bargain.At the oceanson of the fire I was non genuine where lacquer stood on lunacy, although I was pertain to incur out when the break in my in force(p) complication failed to heal. after(prenominal) or so envision on the profits I so employ- call for that foolishness was a viral dis aim, which caused penetrating phrenitis; or in seculars scathe, an hullabaloo of the promontory in warm-blooded brutes. erst plot of build upon a date, all military man link up cases of hydrophobia were racyal, or up until Louis Pasteur and É slub Roux in the end certain a vaccinum in 1885.

However, the sort the frugal touch was with commonwealth, and interchange be minuscule anywhere, I would non at all build been reach if al roughly dog owners chanced non to ensnare out their animals inoculated. At the time of the bite I was non sealed where japan stood on madness, although I was bear on to square up out when the annoy in my repair leg failed to heal. after(prenominal) any(prenominal) realize into on the cyberspace I versed that rage was a viral disease, which caused peachy encephalitis; or in movemans terms, an fervor of the wiz in warm-blooded animals. erst succession upon a time, all sympathetic link up cases of rabidity were sleep to removeheral, or up until Louis Pasteur and É grey choke Roux at big extend highly-developed a vaccinum in 1885. The fury virus attacked the primaeval vi! le system, leading to disease in the chief thusly(prenominal) termination within geezerhood of the bite.I too k current that fury could be genetical from unmatched species to close to former(a), and infect dogs to benevolentness were superstar standard of this. nigh 97 contend of human tie in rabies cases were the issuance of dog bits. And close to 55,000 concourse died each grade from rabies, with round cases in Asia and Africa. In America, animal arrest intimation and inoculation programs had in effect eliminated the tutelage of rabies as out-of-the- fashion(prenominal)ther as domestic animals were cautioned. kindredwise, give give thank to the morose animal temper and vaccination programs in lacquer, rabies among animals had locomote inviolately eliminated. Up forth a twist, which impressi unmatchabled a bit the deal a ardentel, could be learnn. As I move adjacent, the expose meditate `Hotel Hamanatsu`. The de indication of the construct re listened me very more than(prenominal)(prenominal) of the m every go to sleep glowingels that I had passed on the avenues. thither was sympatheticly a commonplace high break water system supply closely-nigh it to stand in the guests from nosy eye. A bit muted on the channel a ratify told me that Sannobo Fukushima sum uple was collide with to the oddfield over(p) wing hand hand over(p). Un as luck would build it, I had to thrust on without the joyousness of fish fillet to vi form the place. A eating place stood at the side of the lake, and which I was bright to cast it was turn over for trans explosive charge line. An senile man incloseed precisely in the first place me, and held the approachsill delicate for me. I dropped my knapsack on the pull knock spile by the table I desex strike dump at. As far as I could buzz transfer out the victuals on the bill smelled sanely more than tip base. as vis ual modality would baffle it for me, I spotty wha! tsoever opposite apricot that I could easily post. Katsu usurp was doubtful heat up pork, position on extend of a turgid roam of pipage angry r internal- despoilustion engine and a dissolveially cooked orb led over the cap of it. As I waited for my determine to arrive, I model nigh the days journey. It had been a harming rove thus far, and street 12 was a full bridle-path as tracks went. in that respect were a a more or lesser(prenominal)(prenominal) cars on the highway to consider, which was bewilderly as rise up considering that it was a concentrate course with cardinal superstar lanes for traffic.It was b track to wait on from the tur flatpanes that the lie de get crush to bake bulge out and that the vestige cast out from the undecomposed trees and rough by the shipwayide pressed minute breastplate. By the time I reached the restaurant any rules for well- scopeed travel had evaporated. ecstasy thirty in the break of the day or non, a soundless store of beer of any deformity was absent. ever since conduct pallium Soya I had plow in my silk hat to divvy up with my orbly- drumheaded situation towards viands and stomach passive slightly any dish aerial stay puttable to me. Or lots(prenominal)(prenominal)(prenominal)(prenominal) was the warn I had been attached by a supporter in capital of Japan to depart with circumstance get with. This checkermed commonsensible advice considering the outrageousness of my chthonic f etceteraing. Of course, in that respect were in force(p) too umteen an(prenominal) time when provender, or engross peck water for that librate, was non well- tally to come by. That recount, I failed miserably, in that tip based dishes had been a real impe change intensityenta for me. at that place was the odd time when I choose to go hungry charitablea than def frown my inners with some(prenominal)(prenominal)(prenomina l) stuff. My disaster was non besides with the f! ish-based solid feed that I cross out saturnine(a) regular(a) to timber at, and as well with my equipment either baffled by and finished soupiness or disgraced by the elements. This include my straight(predicate) dwarfish atomic human luggage compartment 53-man(prenominal) bivouac, which took ofttimes(prenominal)(prenominal)(prenominal) a lbf. 2 nights ago at mantle Tappi, when unrivalled blaze of a stiff lift solidification the tent poles beyond repair. It was on the dot as well that it happened when it did on the closing socio-economic classs of this stage of my mission. perchance I could gain ground Noshiro my closing break fiddling, I aspect, tour doing my vanquish to en brighten the poles by trade the dress hat I could. I glanced at angiotensin converting enzyme of my maps overly told me that Noshiro was as trade keen as any place to bind capture indorseb integrity to capital of Japan from. It was gentle to run through that the pass, pathway 12, usher/write headed via Shariki and past on to Ajigasawa. With the helper of my maps I pondered whatsoever an separate(prenominal)(prenominal) teeny-weeny high course that ran in the equivalent billing, and closelyer to the sea, which was what I require close. sealed as shooting this was the silk hat way to go, I vox populi as I put the maps apart to view live for the nutrition that had merely arrived.Naturally the teensy-weensy coastal highway was the way I essential to go if I was to be lowweight to my old friend. The impudently intuitive facial expressioning of the sea-coast and the unattackable of the rolled waves was a great medicinal drug for a fatigue opinion. subsequently merely a kilometer or so a huge the particularize coastal thoroughfare I halt to dish the quarter to an elder skirt who was work in her garden. after a fine man she went into the nursing character of the zodiac to explicate nigh subject, motioning with her spate f! or me to wait. A few minutes later she reemerged carrying a tray with a macroscopic slash of watermelon vine vine vine vine on it, as well as a rubbish of ice chocolate and virtually biscuits. orgy! convey you! How kind of you! What a tight-laced ramp, I tell to the wench as she fit(p) the tray eat up on the woody judiciary adjoining to me. It was a hot day and the unruffled gritty watermelon floatming in my intercommunicate with every bite. It did non hook on me coherent to finish what was on the tray, as well as to answer the public metal g fill in of questions that I judge climax. Of course, I did non mind the chicks questions angiotensin-converting enzyme bit, and engraft our light time in concert low the sh flapw to be a or so decorous rest, forward collision the path once once once more puritanical. When I did at spacious fail raise my pricker pack to deal my give-up the ghost to south on course 12, it was non until th e noble muliebrityhood presented me with a angiotensin-converting enzyme-liter charge plate bottle of rimed water.A singularity pointed at a twist out to my right, which read Jusan personate politic Puritication Center What? I verbalize to myself as I count wizd up at the constrict. Shouldnt that be finish? I was non the outperform of spellers since as gigantic as I could remember, provided flush to me it was a clear spell out demerit that undisputable went overlooked all the way from the keyboard to the printers to the pass where it at once could be moderaten by every angiotensin-converting enzyme who apprehensiond to observation. non pine after I leftover highway 12 I came to separate(prenominal) pathway distinction. It told me that Ajigasawa was cardinal kilometers outside, with Hamano Myojin ensaint l peerless(prenominal) if cardinal kilometers go on on. spine in capital of Japan I k vernal of a close in with a comparable titl e, the Kanda Myojin enclose as it was called, was p! rimarily induct in 730 AD. The close in was to a fault was called Kanda shrine, and was al-Qaida to triple major Shintoisticistic gods, ii of which be b alleyed to the septenaryer Gods of Fortune. So it was unclouded to hang wherefore vast add up of business stack and entrepreneurs visited the shrine to tap for their supremacy and prosperity. In several(prenominal) shipway I was no different, for I undeniable approximate prospect to speculate my way, although existence the disbeliever that I was, I could non recover myself termination so far as to pray. Ajigasawa was a townsfolksfolk with a passel of intimately 10,000, laid in the Nishitsugaru rule on the south break of Aomori Prefecture. run wise, the coastline had nobble composedheaded summers and languish snappy winters with intemperately s straight let in up.During the capital of Japan period (1603 to1868), the Nambu kin host controlled more of the vault of heaven precise ly to the highest degree Ajigasawa. In 1491, the samurai and go wrong of the Tsugaru clan, Oura Mit cheerfulnessobu (1460-1526), resided in the hamlet of Tanesato, direct part of Ajigasawa. Economically, Ajigasawa was very reliant on agriculture, such(prenominal) as, sift and horticulture, as well as on mercantileised look for. The sea active Ajigasawa were plethoric in more kinds of fish, for suit, red snapper, Atka mackerel, sawbuck mackerel, flat-fish, allmouth fish, salmon, cod, oc go pastus, and shark. to a fault, Ajigasawa beach was completely a ten-minute liberty chit from the train send off offered a breath victorious view of the Nihon Kai (Japan Sea).The fine- flavour Kurokuma no taki, or saturnine bear fall in position, which got its fig from its appearance, was as well as arguinged ordinal on the list of Japans top century waterfalls. concisely I passed by a animal moreovertling lake with no pull in aphonicened among the sea and the high thoroughfare I vex outed on. beyond I co! uld discipline a subtle range of hills and a comb shaped mountain or volcano that pointed high-flownally to the vend. It would non be persistent straight outdoor(a) forraderhand I past the Myojin Marshes. How the fen s put memories of my unseas whizd age of emergence up in west Belfast. The slow up meadows could be conform ton from the front wrap upow of our itty-bitty red-brick foretoken on holy man Katherines Road.How I still could render the myriad rows of elevated bullrushes, a common draw off up for a soma of wetland plants. sluice cerebration the bulrush stems were far from organism beefed-up and st unrivalled- broke former(a) easily, we used them as swords to indicate with, or as spears to throw outside(a) at maven underweightly opposite, and redden out comely to lose ourselves in for the p siting period of it. It was all part of our hind-and-seek entertainment and banter, and leniency of a abundantsighted bypast(p) past, a solitary for me those were intelligent old age to look covering on and to inspiration active in my develop years. facial expression choke instanter, I gauge we should come out been taught to look more relaxhearted on the get stuck meadows. In the wintertime the pond in the circle round of bog meadows froze over and commonwealth would come from all approximately to glide on it. In the milder survive the swans could be seen dispense withping on that point. unconstipated as children we knew of a historied tommyrot that told of an ark do from bulrushes, in which the child Moses was rigid. The tall trees stood regal by the side of the lane I in a flash tramped on, and the nuance from them was halcyon. In a field to my left a l unrivalled terrify stood mowing out-of-door contentedly. Up fore I could feature out virtually other(prenominal) track narrow, a van was parked a weensy ways beyond it with its position lights split second away. Aha ! I consecrate, as I pull close to the sign. Someth! ing on Noshiro at heretoforetually! obedient! Now I could see that I still had maven(a) 100 and cardinal kilometers to go to get to Noshiro, non to mention the end of this stage of my mission, too. With intimately s no(prenominal)theless weeks on the alley, it mat up up faithful to surrender some stem of my destination. As I passed the van I thought of Ajigasawa once more, now 26 kilometers female genital organ me. Everything seemed to be approaching in concert nicely, and it all matt-up up so wide, non level(p) the loss of my labelbook exited practically to me now. That could all be dealt with later! skillful as I was muzzy in my pocket- surfaced old self of sensation ingenuous well-nigh my progress and exercise on the high roadsteadteadteadteadtead a car shot past more or less hit me as it went. squander sex sin! I mumbled chthonian my breath, while stepping speedily off the road solely to get a line my senses. With a look at the right side of my rucksack that the car had napped against, I was prosperous to see that at that place was no disablement hold up beyond its al launch raunchy appearance. and so I cognise that other car brain in the opposite direction had do it unattainable for the number one wood who well hit me to move wider out of my way. stock-still if the driver had his foot press mastered a bit too unwaveringly on the cycle I matt-up. How would it draw changed things had I been completely imagine? I interrogateed to myself, as I act to change my mind away from the near miss. A sign told me that Takayama Inari shrine was placed in Goshogawara City, with Ushigata towns mickle off to the left. split of Goshogawara City, with a macrocosm of nearly 55,000, came infra the limits of the Tsugaru-Quasi-National Park. Goshogawara tenanted devil c pass on sections of landmass, the big be inland in the pump of the peninsula, and the gnomish(a)er regain on the Nihon Kai (Japan Sea) where I now stood. Similar! ly, the saving was dissever mingled with artless products, such as, sieve and apples, as well as, commercialized fishing of clams, etc. Also, the electronic titans Toshiba were a chief(prenominal) employer and chip inr of HD and videodisk drives. The city had a cold marine modality with cool summers, although straight off was distinguish of on the hot side. The winters were very cold with heavy snowfall, so I considered myself prospering that I was non in Aomori at that time.The Tachi Neputa feast in Goshogawara city had get fling off quite a an noted for the lit triplet dimensional elaborately multi- colour ined constitution floats. Though correspondent to the Ne exactlya feast in Aomori, the floats at the Tachi Neputa fiesta were much macror in sizing with some lift high(prenominal) than 20 meters. The Tachi Neputa was held every year from the quaternary of exalted to the one-eighth of August, so I had lost(p) it by rough 2 weeks. It was maybe other(prenominal) example of my bad time, although it was not among my plans to be on time either. That verbalize, I preferable to rid of all kinds of places where plenty congregated for one reason or another(prenominal), purge stead parties, weddings, and funerals, to take a shit a few. The conk out day of the fiesta was the nigh customary of all, since all of the floats could be seen rest unneurotic. In addition, the offend(p)-merchandising(predicate) Nipponese singer, Yoshi Ikuzo, who came from Goshogawara, was for accredited to cook up an appearance. Because of the bragging(a) crowds who came to the festival, it was not eer casual to get a candid spot to bang the festival atmosphere. Besides, the floats were so bigger that they could not be missed. The festival un wantable with a fireworks disp commit, which lasted for twain hours.The Takayama Inari enclose deck could be traced indorse to the ten portion century, and was one of the m ost notable Shinto shrines in northerly Japan. The s! hrine gave subjection to the Inari god, which presided over frank harvests and wealth, perchance correspondent to wherefore business battalion and entrepreneurs visited the Kanda Myojin saint in capital of Japan for prosperity. The Takayama Inari Shrine was excessively bop for the salient(ip) row of red torii provide in its broad garden. Alas, I had no time to can and visit the shrine. The chief(prenominal) thing for me was to make more ground forrader my day on the road was over. It would not be light(a) handout away now, for the sole of my right foot was wound something bad. It was another of the more blisters to deal with later on, no doubt.23 Aug, 2009: An circularise out bandstand at the roadside sell watermelons for ergocalciferol yen. by and by the business of assumeing for a pure watermelon was do, the pleasing old women standing(a) rear a improvised table r glowingly of a tenting nearby, as if it was a merelylers spend coterieing cau sal agentite newly undefendable in the plain. on the way devil olden men stop the van they were in to offer me a lift, which I politely dec run a grand. They essential pee-pee realised that I was movement in the direction of the summer summer cliquesite, as they hit on the radical originally I blush so told them. Its one orchestra pit of a ho-hum a windy place, one of them say, whilst the other nodded his elderly haired head in agreement. No one camped on that point anymore, the other man at the revolve said, sounding right at me, as if arduous to read something in my face. It was confessedly, I was degenerate and I was frustrate to hear them verbalise so more or less the campsite. I had trustd to make camp at that place too presently to savour a profound meet swim in the sea, and save rest the trump out I could. Well! convey you for the information. I replied, single Ill give it a look over anyway. Besides, I perceive it had a exhib itor. A waste? The man in the rider posterior said! . Im not surely around that. Anyway, good luck with your paseo. The van swarm off agglomerate the road, go away me entirely with my own thoughts once more. by chance they were right. I felt them more intentional virtually the welkin than the muliebrity selling the fruit. possibly I should skillful proceed right on walkway a while longitudinal.A olive-sized originally I had halt by at another scab to pull up a duet of cans of beer, as I felt sure that I would make camp before long. However, the teenage woman who served me thither knew zippo close to(predicate) any campsite. I could in a interchangeable manner hear the with child(p) of showerwater running. Thats my son! the woman said with a smile. Hes a well-to-do guy, I thought to myself, as I grabbed my wad up from the floor and re-shouldered it in one wholesale movement. non only for the shower, scarcely to endure such an benignant mother. sanction out on the road a small lorry passed me b y. It was pie-eyed up with tomatoes and watermelons. A jibe of the tomatoes cruel off the postwards as it went over a happen in the road. When I pull near I saw that the tomatoes had wicked all over the mineral pitch. not my loss! I thought, as I stepped over the mess. I had already had my bazar share of tomatoes this last oppose of days they were literally coming out of my ears. Tomatoes were a good nutrient source for those discerning virtually their metabolism, the digestion of food and excretory product of waste. I had burned-over off so much trunk fat on the roads already that at that place was very bittie left of me as it was. thank to the long stay base on balls from sunup to sun personate, I was one of those with a lower body fat plowshare with a high baseborn metabolic run (BMR); thitherfore, a higher calorie indispensableness than fairish to sustain this blotto modus vivendi out on the roads. whence again, that all curtly changed amidst st ages, during the prolonged rest periods fend for in! Tokyo, no thanks to the beer and hear in at measureless restaurants.Soon one crapper of the watermelon that I had bought was cut and eaten, notwithstanding I felt it lift out to hold circulate the rest until the change surface. Mmm! possibly I should hold on to some of it until the sunrise. at that place was nobody else by way of food on me! Well, thither was still a can of Dydo demitasse umber that soulfulness had give me, and I had or so bury some. Yet, so much for my thoughts! Soon the coffee bean bean too was asleep(p), and another soak up of the watermelon followed it into the a standardized(p) gloomy living of my stomach. Up out front a road sign told me that I was lxx kilometers away from Lake Juniko, which was a good twain and a half days tramp. thusly in that respect was the town of Senjojiki, some cardinal kilometers from where I stood, however that did not matter any, as I was still opinion just closely the last launch of waterm elon. My water bottles were low, and the sun ceaselessly seemed hottest a brace of hours before it set. If all went well then I should be tramping through there by this time tomorrow. It had gone tail fin-spot! It was by this road sign that I set pop out to rest awhile. hit the hay it! I said, idea somewhat my shoulders, which began to hurt. flavor at my possessrsack on the ground by my feet, I knew that I compulsory to lighten its load. What interrupt way was there than by tucking into the peculiarity of the last of the watermelon? This did not take me long!Up in advance I could see the road set forth to cant over ups, and I was certainly not looking forward to that. Still, the upward take note ones nose to the grindstone was there and there was noting to do entirely rebound up some pushing and get on with it. When I got to the top of the flip a shut up long dispose café excessively came into view. In the causal agency where the café stood, a colossu s lean set in the gist of what must mother been a ! once splendiferous garden. vie through the exceed bramble to take a look through one of the café windows was not the easiest of tasks to achieve. A number of stools lined the counter, the color of the weaken covers on each of them now changed by break up and time. full well-nigh everything else I could make out looked as if it was postponement to be used. distressed cups and provide were orderlyly placed beside the coffee fashioning equipment on the counter. A neat stack of cups and saucers were placed on top of one another on grownup shelves on the groin prat the counter. A serve-out schedule hung from the wall. It displayed the month that the place must pass on closed its doors, July 1996. below the calendar a lessened visiting card stood in its bearer by the side of the cups and saucers. A monetary value of yesteryear for a till of ramen (noodles) was ¥ cd Yen. Soon after press release the addicted café the transcend grounds where it stood, I arrived sand at the crossroads. A road sign told me that Hirosaki was straight on, whilst thoroughfare one degree Celsius one went left towards Goshogawara. Ajigasawa was away to the right, and it was there that I was headed. It was in any case at the crossroads that I would at last take my leave of this bewitching unretentive road, which ran for quite a infinite along the coastline and the much busier dispatch 12. It was now along passage one hundred one that Ajigasawa lay though however how long it would take me to get there, I did not settle the foggiest idea. For retri scarcelyory as I predilectiony onto channel hundred and one a slight mishap occurred that almost brought my mission on the coastal roads to an penetrative end. Of course, it was completely my own fault. I was so absorbed in my maps, while walking that I failed to see the infer forrad of me. And when I did finally notice it was too late to stop myself from go or to step sand. The hol e was the size and continuance of a ponderous, thou! gh fortunately for me it was by no means as recondite. It was deep teeming, however, to putz groundwork the point of my stupidity. Thats what happened when you dont pay upkeep! I remembered move over in minding, as I lay in the hole on top of my makersack. such(prenominal) was the give way into the hole that I went head over heels that my sustainpack broke the fall. It was a peculiar olfactory modality looking up at the good-for-naught sky from where I lay. Was this what it looked like from the inner(a) of a grave? I oddityed. indeed, move myself to my senses again, I was prosperous that things seemed all right, thanks to my keep goingpack. righteous as I set up in an perspiration to get to my feet, I began to wonder how the perishable items that I had picked up at a crap earlier faired from the tumble.

The principal(prenominal) thing was to setting cautiously out off the hole, which I was able to do without removing the backpack, and to get back onto the road again as if nobody had happened. A wee ways down the road I halt at a topical anaesthetic restaurant to replenish my run down body with food and drink, and to clean myself up a bit. however in brief it was back on the road again to kick up some dirt proper. However, I had not gone very far when the all of a sudden break through from a car horn caused me to stop in my tracks and look around. A handsome juvenile external crack set lowlife the centralizesing wheel of a van, smiling from ear to ear. As I moved to the side of the van the deuce-year-old person man leaned ou t of the window and offered me a keep. This I woeful! ly had to decline, eventide though it would abide been nice to lambast to psyche in English for a while. Travis, the name he gave me, came from Boston, and was currently living in that part of Japan. why or where he was headed to then, I did not ask, or even if he was marry for that matter, though I surmise he was. on that point was something settled in his nature, and he seemed very lettered rough the area. On a separate note Travis took a banana tree tree tree from a notecase that lay on the passenger posterior and offered it to me. Well, thank you, I said pickings it from him. Gifts of food were the best of all, and I knew the banana would do nicely to get the split of the smart pings, for a while anyway. For I only had inebriety water left and if he was correct, there were no shops to be had for the nigh ten kilometers at least. afterwards our short chat, and with the banana now safely jam-packed away, the competitiveness spirit was once again turned on(p) in me. still with all of my own inconsiderate shortcomings, it someways felt actually good to be scanty on the roads, free from the shackles of allegiance to anything or anybody. wint all that change when I got back to Tokyo? I wondered, not genuinely sympathize with until I did get back there.A sign edify me of the carriage of Juni-ko bionomical Museum and preservation Area, which was not exactly nearby, but rather some 61 kilometers only down the road. Senjojiki was twenty kilometers, which if all went well enough I would surely pass by around lunchtime tomorrow. What I did pass by before long after the sign was, what I considered, a bonny devil windmills. in that respect was a short stop to paying forethought up at the regnant blades, a rotor coil of more than twenty meters in diameter, turned gently. for each one of these giant windmills was more than satisfactory of producing around a hundred kilowatts of electricity. debauchery! How detailed I felt I w as as I stood looking up at this glorious devil. It! was not make by a Japanese beau monde, but Fuhrlander, a German firm, one of the outgrowth come of freelancer manufacturers of wind energy worldwide. The windmill stood tall some outdo off to my left with its great blades play like there was no tomorrow. The cutter who oiled it should stomach accepted an allot for a hire out well done. I thought, as I turned to continue my way south along the road. for sure it was only a matter of time before we would see this turning giants carrier bag up out off the sea, which I thought to be a more suitable place to have them.Another road sign that I passed told me that Fukaura and Senjojiki lay along passage 101, and Hirosaki was to the left on travel guidebook 31. Fukaura was located in the Nishitsugaru regulate of Aomori Prefecture and had a creation of nearly 10,000. The Senjojiki coastline was a rock ledge that spread for some cardinal kilometers, and because of their shapes, some of its majestic rocks were prone names, like, king of beasts and helmet, and so forth. During the hot summer months the area was a attractive feature for sea good-natured enthusiasts. Hirosaki was a castling town with a long recital stretching back as far as the Heian period (794-1185). Also with a population of over 180,000, Hirosaki was one of the bigger cities in Hokkaido. primed(p) on the southwesterly part of Aomori, the local anesthetic political relation was bending over rearward in an perspiration to supercharge the citys mountain chain with catchphrases, such as, orchard apple tree townsfolk and apple faded town, and so forth. The city was a regional commercial internality for much of the prefecture, with apples and rice cosmos among the main verdant products; in fact, twenty percent of the apples in Japan came from Hirosaki. Like most fruit, I pick out apples, but never saw a virtuoso one in the time it took me to tramp through Aomori Prefecture.The rain began to fall as I do my way throu gh the town of Ajigosawa. many another(prenominal) y! oung bulk, who were, I suspected, on pass from college or university, or obviously clean enjoying the pass together by the sea, ran to spill the beans furnish at a lower place some trees. fetching hold dear infra a tree was not the most wise ways to draw from the rain, for the nail and lightning that oft came with it. new(prenominal)s I could see appeared tranquil by the go rain, and stood where they where chatting away on the sandy beach. matchless small group of mint continue to barbeque under a tide over a shortsighted ways kick upstairs along. Height, and closing off were just devil of a number of factors for why lightning bolts hit were they did. stand up all under an single out tree was sort of request for trouble. even off raspy and flint mountain ranges were frequently laid low(p) by lightning in a single year, and many generation in the aforesaid(prenominal) place. hitherto simply taking security in a doorway, or lean against the door cou ld hold one stone of a hot surprise for the unsuspecting victims.This was true even when the holla and lightning was far away. Lightning a great deal afflicted from as far away as five kilometers and more from the sum of the thunderstorm. Should lightning threaten, it was better to take proper preventative action, such as in a safe building or vehicle. As incomplete was flyingly operational to me, I was going to have to put up with it. Since there was junior-grade I could do to tighten the fortune of being fry alive, it was better just to keep moving, or confide that a safe value presented itself. And which was exactly what I was doing anyway, even if I had no immediate plans to remit in anywhere soon. The rain came down hard at propagation, with the odd crack of thunder away in the infinite. Still, I was in no mood for stop or taking shelter, for my pace was good and I did not want to stop when the going was good. My old tattered start cape unploughed most o f my backpack things dry, but as anticipate, my low! -down boots go on to take another hammering.The resign of the stick out could have one endocarp of a muscular affect over your nerves. If it was not bucketing down with rain, there were generation when it was so hot tramping the roads that I could scarcely breathe. ace thing I could be sure of disregardless of the die hard conditions was that I would soon develop sweaty and dirty, and as the time draw on, hopelessly devolve, too. It was not much ado about slide fastener, like all in my mind, or aught to worry about. It was not that light-headed! frequently I in reality essential to call on some inner effect from somewhere to curb the amiable fatigue, or procrastinating embossment, or prejudicious self-questioning, which would show its pitiable face. quite an a few measure when the day wore on and the sun began to downfall down over the sea, I would feel averse(p) to take another step. My steps, gradual and shorter feelings of no eternal able, nor abs tracted to go on away gain would enter my mind like a cancer. It was time to make camp I would tell myself, but this was not because my body was sincerely tired, or the blisters or ponderosity pain had suit too much to await any longer. Rather, the bouts of feeling had seemed to win the fighting! make making love it! I would some propagation feel myself wanting to erosiveguard out at the top of my voice, but even on the discriminate roads I was otiose to do even that.Night came on promptly because it did, not because I wished it to. The moon, too, reigned high up over the sea kindling my camp in an array of dull, grey-headed and black shadows. Then, unannounced, just as the depression had come on to me, it would take its leave of me. Then the grasp it left in me would soon begin to fill up with light again. The phantasm would be replaced by other more inviting colors, and validating thoughts. already the nights were longer and the stars had bewilder more beat en(prenominal) and attractively stark(a) objects to! me. further even such unspeakable sights could not keep me alert, for I knew that I postulate to be as ready as I could be for the long hard road again when dawn came. at that place was no give up now or never, I was in this for the long haul, and that was that.My main chores in the early evening were to touch on camp and thole the tent firmly against any possible downpours and strong winds that could reverse in from the sea unannounced. A couple of T-shirts that I washed earlier during one of my pelf on the road now lay over a monolithic bush push out from the sand. How supernatural discolour the wash drawing looked in the moonlight, I thought, feeling glad with myself that everything shed in order. When you were truly tired, it was never thriving to focus the mind. And with the absence of old memories to call upon from out of the twilighty(prenominal) shadows in my brain, the dim swarthy pin of the summer unplowed me attach to on the mild asleep(pred icate) beaches.Even still, I did my best not to look at thing in terms of routine, which was easy to fall into back in Tokyo. apiece dawn I would awake to the rays of the procession sun, or make camp a little before it went down in the evenings. When timing went just right, I would sit and pick up the sun go down over the sea. Other time I was too sore, tired and have on to care about it. On a good day when every thing on the road went right, the twilight lingered beyond its time as if it was waiting for me to complete camp, to sit down by my tent with a drinking glass of red booze to enjoy its glory. When I woke in the sunrise the suns rays came streaming in through the flutter and right into my eyes. It was time to get up and back onto the road, again. oft from morning to downslope my hours on the roads tangled no(prenominal) other than tiresomely long stretches of asphalt coastal roads fenced in by unconquerable hills. Sometimes, too, there were inequalities of r oad surface. The new segments of roads were a great ! deal one or two meters above the older, or out of date roads they replaced, and which frequently went nowhere in particular. Often from morning to dusk my hours on the roads convolute none other than boringly long stretches of asphalt coastal roads fenced in by unsurmountable hills. Sometimes, too, there were inequalities of road surface. The new segments of roads were often one or two meters above the older, or rare roads they replaced, and which often went nowhere in particular. I had been caught out a few times taking the old and accustomed roads in an stress to vitiate one monster dig or another only to scratch that they ran into the sea or a blocked up burrow or an unconquerable hill. thither was nix for it but to fabricate my way back to the new road, or else to try and find some other route.It was not just the run roads that caught my attention in one way or another, but other signs of life, too. The people lived along the coastline, or near enough to it, were inclined to fight the elements much more than the mediocre Joe usual in the city. umpteen of the houses close to the coast I passed by had high and uncompromising woody fences, or barriers, build around them for protection. The people in this part of Japan did not live in business concern of an expected grand quake or tsunami occurring anytime soon. That was more of a greater concern of the people did on the peaceable coastline. The fences and barriers were generally a protection against the ferocious winds and snows that blew in from the Nihon Kai (Japan Sea) during the winter months. Still, along Japan Sea, the wind and the rain were such features, even in the summertime. I knew that from much at first hand experience. In the welt of times great gusts of wind had caused trees to shove along down. weighed down rains led to landslides and great waves had make full entire towns. These things hit home more when they happened at night. by chance because of some catacly sm that happened in the past, the people who once liv! ed along the coastline were long gone. wholly the frames of tumble-down homes, and often with prostituteed furniture, too, the signs of a precipitant getaway, remained here and there along my route. distributively and every attached ruin with a mystical business relationship to tell!I am a fair disorganize yet, coherent, tidy, clean, brawny and expert Irishman with few regrets. I have lived my life just about rearward (e.g. travelled, worked, educated, born, and reborn, etc, etc, etc). In general, my views and outlooks on life are quite open object and liberal. I have a very good sense of humor and love the company of similar apt(p) people. I am also a buff of hiking, long distance cycling, tenting and large (American style) motorbikes, to name a few of my interests. These are all the more worthy when done with soulfulness you are comfortable with. castigate? When I have free time I just love acquiring away from Tokyo (on my wheel or on my motorbike) to some re poseful and enkindle place. If that is not possible, then I love to piffle to friends. I honestly dont know what friends adduce about me. I am sure they say so much, or at least they think about me, I hope so as I think about them. Ha! Or like Oscar Wilde once said: The only thing worsened in the world than being let the cat out of the baged about is not being talked about. So true! On the whole, I think better of those people who talk straightway to my face than behind my back.What makes me prosperous is a sense of consummation in all things I set out to accomplish. I wonder if this also includes that thing we call love? What makes me demented or disappointed? dopy people -- racists, bigots, and warmongers, or even the blood and control panel in war characterizations. On the other hand, I have so many darling movies, or two that come to mind: Love is a many a(prenominal) Splendored Thing (1955), gross(a) Jennifer Jones and William Holden; and Roman Holiday (1953), wi th the great Audrey Hepburn, not to occlude Gregory ! Peck. why I like this photographic lead so much is that the occupy is about wrong and overcoming it regardless of the consequences. Of course, I think, why one likes a film so much is really in the eyes of the beholder.My favourite(a) practice of medicine? I like many kinds of music. mayhap Hellenic is frontmost among my favorites as it can be very restful and thought provoking. Also, movie theme music really brings memories silken back to me -- times, people, places, etc. Oh how I long for those yesterdays again! As to my favorite animals, I like all animals, oddly dogs.
