Failed to find a lawn sign for the GOP presidential ticket in heavily Republican Edina precinct 4. I walked miles.

Stocked up on trail snacks for our next excursion:–Gorp–Rice cracker mix–Wasabi peas–Carob raisins–Sesame sticks

Voted: took advantage of Minnesota early voting.

Posted Walking in the Company of Crows.

Walked through the Minneapolis North Loop neighborhood.

On my walk today: Downtown from the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

Acted locally.

This sculpture speaks for me this evening: our TV will be off 8:00 to 9:30 p.m., Central. (Spotted at a temple near Komatsu, Japan in 2014.)

Washed gear: stuff sack, trekking gloves, smartphone case, hat ready for the next adventure

Rode my bike to the Wedge Co-op to buy groceries: first time on my bike since early July.

After a lackluster jog round Lake of the Isles, if was time to recharge with a bun and coffee at Isles Bun & Coffee.

Back home in Minneapolis, it’s time to broaden our cuisine. How about a Hokkaido melon with mascarpone cheese Kit Kat?

My view for the next 12 hours, NRT (Tokyo) to MSP.

Between flights at Tokyo’s Narita Airport took a train to Narita-san Shinsho Temple, a large temple complex with lovely walking trails.

Explored Hakodate, and the Goryokaku Fort. It was the first European-style fort built in Japan.
