Day 44 – A friends floor

My friend Nicky was nice enough to let me sleep on her floor last night. We got up late and hit the train late too. Oh well. We got to Temple 63 at 1245 pm. Then we hit Temple 62 and then Temple 61. Temple 62 is not a part of the 88 Temple Pilgrimage. Some sort of falling out. So we got my stamp at Temple 61. I was planning to go to Temple 60 but the monk said no that it would take 8 hours. I checked my apps and they agreed with the monk. So I turned around and headed for Temple 64. It was a nice walk past the temples I already hit that day. Upon reaching Temple 64 I was very happily surprised by a beautiful temple. Some great pictures of fall colors. From there, I walked to Saijo station and on the way received ossetai from a Japanese grandma on patrol. Barley tea, very nice. Took the train to an onsen and soaked my feet. Indian for dinner. Yummy. Good night all.
