Rainy day

The museums were closed, so my normal rainy day activity was impossible.

My normal backup backup plan: just get wet and take lots of coffee breaks.

I used my railpass to go to the countryside.

First up was Nanzoin. Huge old place. Buses and buses of folks but still pretty calm.

After that I rode the wrong train, so that ate up some time.

Eventually I got to the town of Dazaifu. This place was hopping for a dreary day. I shudder to think about being here on a spring day. No sakura flowers, beautiful as they are, are worth that.

Cute little unmanned station
The bridge played a song when struck with a coin or something

One of hundreds of places to worship
Im a boar, lol
Remains of the faithful. Its very expensive to rest here.
Even though we’re at a Buddhist temple, they tuck Shinto shrines in here and there
The star of the show
I don’t know what any of this means
At the train station. The fighter is one of my favorites. He’s retired now
Here we are in Dazaifu. Where there’s a shrine, there’s a shopping street.
Neat old machine. Its been cranking out these bean treats by the hundreds for decades.

After all this, I was ready to sit and read for a couple of hour. I had fried meat and gravy for dinner. Delicious.
