Drumbeats of Wagner's end of the world music wake me up,
or in other words a thunderstorm. It's half past five and instead of rain there's hailstorm drumming on my tent. It's fucking cold and stormy. Im some way that's reminds me of Kagoshima
two months ago…. It's quite awful to camp in half a meter high grass when it's hailing. It has been snowing again in the mountains. But what has all this to do with the American General Sherman who was responsible for the genocid of the Apaches. Once his adjutant asked him how things were going and he answered: " Every morning before breakfast I take a piece of dog shit, because then the day can't be worse!"
Good for me that the group of shitting dogs are not not yet on the road because of the bad weather. Otherwise I maybe couldn't have resisted… But the weather is really terrible and
it seems there will be even more rain!
