Magome and Tsumago

Had a meeting in Nagoya so afterwards I went to the Kiso valley for a 8km "hike" that is part of a mail route or path something like that from the Edo era maybe. Some nice views, but it was raining, and rained pretty hard at one point. Luckily there was a tourist information center halfway through the hike so I stopped there and they gave me some tea, pickles, ume, candy and a larger umbrella to borrow. Pretty nice and relaxing. I stayed in Nakatsugawa which was cute little town, and at a business hotel which was affordable. At one restaurant I went to the owner had been to NM, the only time he had been to the US, what are the odds, small world.
