Back from a long ride to the sea... 175k total... need TEA!!!!!! LOTS OF TEA!!!!!!!!!!!
While it steeps... We discovered a really neat old village in the mountain between Kyoto and the Japan Sea coast. Most of the houses had tall thatched roofs! Very unusual for Japan. (Usually the house roofs are blue glazed tile.)
Hundreds of motorcycles on the roads today because of the Golden Week holiday. Racers in full leathers flying around the mountain curves, cruisers like us... laid back going slow and enjoying the scenery, 'Bozuzoku' (Japanese bike gangs) riding small engine Suzukis making lots of noise with their throttles, Harley clubs, touring groups, lots of single bikes with two-up. Good day to be in the mountains and ride to the sea!
Tea's ready.... good stuff.... Fortnum & Mason's 'Royal Blend.' I can see why this has always been a favorite.
