We took a morning walk around Nikko. The mountains here are wonderful - Sierra height (not Himmalayan height) and spectacular. The streets are icy; mountain trails are probably worse so this wouldsn't have been a good time for serious hiking. It would be fun to come back for some backpacking one fine day...
As we approached our hotel, we ran into a group of very large monkeys. They were digging in the ground for something; the hotel manager says they search for nuts this time of year. We were pretty close to them, and we got some great shots which we will post soon - HONEST!!!
We will send out a general message when we get pictures on the blog.
I really cannot believe this odessey is ending. What next? Time alone will tell. We probably won't post again until we are back in Oakland (where's Oakland?) Monday night or, more likely, Tuesday morning. Until then - PG
