Day 60: Entering Kyushu

Sunday, August 23, 2009
Biked 60km (37 miles) from Iwakuni to Shunan, then took 2-hour ferry to Taketazu on Kyushu. Sho and I walked over the Kintai-kyo Bridge and saw the albino snakes of Iwakuni in the morning. We met up with our friend Saito-san in Shunan and rode the ferry together. The three of us are staying in a youth hostel, and had fun shooting off fireworks together.

  1. Wow, finally you come to Kyushu!
    It is suprising to see that you are accomplishing your goal as scheduled.

    Hope that you have a safe trip.
    In case you have some free time in Tokyo, let me know. I am more than happy to see you and hear your long story.

  2. This is so incredible! I honestly would probably not be able to do that at all. Keep biking!

  3. Ishida-san: thanks! Yes, we are right on schedule, and planning to return to Tokyo the evening of Sep 1. It would be fun to get together before we fly back to NYC on Sep 5. Let me know what day works best for you.

  4. Monica: Thanks. I'm sure you could do this, if you put your mind to it. After all, you are the daughter of an Ironman! :-)
