It was fine.

Today is a very good day of tensha nichi (天赦日) when everything is forgiven and tora no hi (寅の日) when money spent will be returned.

I published the 207th e-book.

  

I visited 6 temples of 33 Kannon temples in Miura.

My friend came around 11 AM, about one hour later we promised. 

We had late lunch at a restaurant where I have wanted to go. She treated me.

I am glad to visit Manganji temple where I have wanted to go for a long time.

It was fine and hot.

Today is a national holiday called Constitution Day.

It's been 79 years since the Constitution came into effect.

After lunch I started visiting 8 temples of the 33 Kannon temples.

There were some temples where I could not go by car because some roads were very narrow and there was no parking lot.

There were some fishing ports and marinas while I was driving. 

On my way home I stopped a supermarket and got a Yamzaki spring pan festival dish.

There was a zoom gathering at night.

I decided to cancel the trip next weekend after consideration.

It was fine.

I went to Kamakura to have lunch with an ex-colleague. It was rather expensive but we enjoyed eating and talking. While I was working, we seldom had a chance to talk, but at the very last day we found the same interest and decided to have lunch.

After saying good-bye I went to Higashi zushi to visit one of 33 Kannon temples.

After that I went to Taura to visit another 33 Kannon temples.

I was going to visit one more temple, but I heard it would take longer time I thought. 

So I gave up, but visit a shrine nearby.

After coming home I harvested butterburs for the second time.

Tonight it is the fullmoon.
