  • Day 5: Kiso Valley Day 1 (Nakasendo Trail)

    Today started at 330am. I woke up with a stuffy nose and couldn’t sleep. Sleeping on the slightly thicker futon at this hotel did not help either. I quickly looked up a drug store nearby and tried to leave the hotel but the door was locked. I shouted sumimase or excuse me and no one…

  • Day 1.5 Uneo Park

    Gate to the Toshugo Shrine Everyone is very nice although because I’m American it seems every conversation is about Trump. These people know more of our own politics than I do. Some Australians that I met said that Trump hired his personal “pool guy” to redo the National monument in DC. When I was getting…
