On sunny yesterday, I couldn't leave Morioka.
The weather forecast says it will be big storm tonight, thoguh, I started hicthhike,
the entrance of highway was much farer by foot than I expected,
so it was already afternoon, besides not enough space for drivers to stop.
Dark clouds and some rain comes and goes,
more harder situation is always more exciting,
in my travel I always had been feeling so, it's my nature.
3 PM, finally expensive car picked me up
but he didn't enter highway although I asked,,
After for a while he noticed his misunderstanding,
but we're already heading to his home's Akita ,it's west,(my direction is south)
he says I can enter Akita' highway then join to main highway
but it's quite big detour, must be change to night soon,,
The traffic was busy, so he changed the plan and took U-turn
（,,to be continued)


at Shiwa SA (Service Area), was dropping tiny rain but
a driver who drives between Sendai to Morioka everyday accepted me
"If your looks were more weird,I wouldn't accept you."
Only one high-school travel to South Korea made him dtermine
he doesn' want to go abroad again, though, he got interested in what I have been doing,Thanks.
18:00 : He was heading to his company and home in Sendai,dropped me off PA (Parking Area)
before Sendai but "In worst case,you can phone me until 20:00 to call me here
and you can stay at my house." Oh I wanted to have the first surfing driver's couch in Japan but maybe I would catch next car,,
.20 min.later, next truck driver drove me till over Sendai, he suggested me to think about live in Sendai.
.Just after I separated the driver and began to ask parking car' people,the first driver answered OK.
He came from Niigata to Sendai for job some days ago,and today he has to arrive till Hamamatsu for tomorrow's job. But finally the storm has come, rain disturbs window's sight and wind shakes car. In the middle of Fukushima province, he parked car to rest and nap for a while,,me too.
.22:40, just before we arrived to parking near
my favorite song of "RC succession"

It might be the best live video of Stones
