This Friday is our town’s matsuri – harvest festival. Everyone came out to start decorating the streets this morning.

Spent a few hours harvesting rice today in Enokisawa Chiba. Organically grown by my wife and her friends.

Local surfer & founder of Kintoun Surfboards Jimmy Shibata found my secret campsite here in Chiba. He was about to go hit the waves.

Hiding in the woods near the Ocean tonight. Book, bugspray, flashlight – and wireless net access via iPhone! Say hi if you see this – it’s lonely way out here Need a solar charger for iPhone next…
