Day 39

Honjo -> Atsumi
Distance:118km
Wind, wind, wind. Wind to blow paint off a fence, or he chain off my bike (3 times). Wind to blow you backwards up a hill. Wind to blow my handlebar bag open and the last 3 pages out of my novel. Wind that churned the surface of the sea up so much that it looked like it was covered in drift ice. The typhoon is sill way off, and may even be veering east and miss us now, but its arm is long. And then this afternoon, after we crossed into Yamagata prefecture the wind eased off and left us to enjoy a beautiful sretch of coastline. Staying tonight at another friend from couchsurfing.com, John, who entertained us with stories of his days in the Peace Core in a remote village in the high Peruvian Andes.
