Once around the palace

I had a hankering for a very long walk today. It’s been a while since I’ve gone out walking and my legs itched for a stretch. The day is grey and chilly–a nice contrast to yesterday’s sticky humidity.
So after a bit of sushi in Kanda, I walked around the palace and then to home. It was a good two hour hike including a detour through Hibiya Park–about 8 km. I walked my 10,000 steps and then some today.
In a few minutes I’ll be packing up my laptop, grabbing an umbrella (the grey sky has opened up to rain) and walking for another 2.5 km/45 minutes to Ochanomizu to sit in my favorite cafe and write for a while. Then dinner and a walk home.
I’ll be very tired tomorrow.
