On the road in Osaka
It took me nearly 14 hours today to hitchhike 560 kilometers to Osaka! I got stuck for a period of time at the halfway point in the city of Kanazawa. A parking attendant at Fudoji parking area on the Hokuriku expressway asked me to leave. I walked down to the regular road, hitchhiked to the next big interchange, and got back on the expressway two hours later.
Man who took me to Kanazawa in his BMW
Mr. and Mrs. Izumi with 3 year old daughter Chitose. They took me from Yoneyama SA to Nadachihama after a brief stop for shopping in Joetsu City
Kohei and Kayo who took me from Kanazawa to Fukui
Ken and Shigeru. They took me to Shiga Prefecture from Fukui Prefecture.
The highlight of this trip was to get a ride in a convertible two seater BMW sports car with the top down. Though it rained a bit when riding, the rain didn’t fall on us but was blown over the car’s windshield.
