A few things
17/6/07 10:34(1) I am going to New York much sooner than I had guessed!
littlebutfierce, I'll only be there a day and a half, and it's a family togetherness thing, but I'll almost certainly be there in December as well, and I'd like to meet up then.
(2) There's nothing interesting on the way to Lothlorien. I was looking at 150 miles of small hills and streams. My new Fictional Biking Adventure starts on the northern tip of Aomori and goes southward following the east coast of Japan and whatever else strikes me as interesting.
The first ten miles! (links are to Japanese pages, but there are pictures).
Oomasaki, the northern tip of Aomori, is home to a tuna statue; you can see Hokkaido from there. I take the 338 southward to Saimura, which has a hand-painted red cross flag.
(3) Good haul of books at the library yesterday-- a history of fox beliefs and legends in Japan, and a classical Japanese handbook which seems helpful because I currently read classical Japanese by looking up the vocabulary words and then making up a sentence that has those words in it.
