The Plan
Take my bike up to the northern tip of Japan this August and pedal south and west 'till there's no more Japan left. Counting on about 2 or 3 months.

Day 62
Echizen -> OtsuDistance:127km
Around the coast to the port town of Tsuruga and a one-toothed old man who told me stories of his incredible (or was that incredulous?) journey - cycling across Japan for six months on 10,000 yen (about $100). Then over the border into Shiga prefecture and around massive Lake Biwa - by far Japan's largest. Met up with Nate again at the southern end, and then rode together to the Eharas' house - parents of my old Japanese roommate. I hadn't seen them in almost 7 years, and they tried to compensate for lost time by serving us mountains of great food. Played catch with their 8 year old grandson who was a newborn last we met.
