Daily Glimpse 16

This will be my last post for the next three weeks. I’m head­ing off to Van­cou­ver, Canada to­day, for some back­pack­ing, slow time walk­ing the streets and sit­ting in cof­fee shops, sea kayak­ing, vis­it­ing friends, and, since I’m most likely bring­ing my bi­cy­cle, some rid­ing the hori­zon. If I can I will write in every now and then, but aside from check­ing email, I’m go­ing to try to re­main com­puter free as much as possible!

The wind that is­sued from the mouth of the tun­nel tasted stale and acrid.

Though the cam­era could see in the dark, I walked al­most blind, feel­ing for the rough sur­prise of ogre skin.

End of the line: even as an adult com­ing across a hu­man relic over­grown with the en­croach­ing wood still con­jures up the ex­cite­ment of dis­cov­ery of lost cities.

This was just a small one!

There is a whole dif­fer­ent sense of pri­vacy in Japan.

Some­thing about tun­nels, es­pe­cially aban­doned train tun­nels, that flushes out the willies in me.
