Day 23 – Onsen at bottom of Temple 36

I woke up at the tsuyado at Temple 34.  So grateful.  The staff was wonderful and I loved sleeping on temple ground.  It is one of those great experiences while walking this trail.  I finished with prayers at Temple 34 and ran into the Japanese couple from yesterday.  Such a cute couple.  Still bubbling after 28 years.  Off to Temple 35, a nice little walk until I spotted a McDonalds and realized I needed breakfast.  I love the apple pie for breakfast.  After the pitstop, I finally end up at Temple 35.  Beautiful view and a lovely temple.  My friends were there of course.  On to Temple 36, it is a walk through town and then down a freeway.  I end up going through the tunnel so I could make Temple 36 before it closed.  Through town and over the bridge and finally Temple 36.  I should have taken my camera up to the top.  Very nice.  On the way back, I realize my feet are done for the day…and there is an onsen in the way.  So I stop and get a room.  Good decision.  Dinner and an onsen session and now I am back in my room finishing this post. Good night all.
