Nagaoka won't happen today ... I'm at an internet cafe typing this blog entry.
I got to Tokyo station this afternoon only to find out that there was an earthquake near my destination, Nagaoka, at 10:13 this morning, July 16. From what I can gather it was a magnitude 6 earthquake killing 2 people and injuring 150. Trains were off the tracks in Kashiyazaki, the place I changed trains last year when I was going from Nagaoka to Washima, where Ryokan met the nun Teishin in his final years.
Not sure when I'll post another entry but it will likely be once I get to Nagaoka tomorrow, if that's even possible ... first a hurricane, now an earthquake. I guess I'll just take events as they come, moment by moment.
Stay tuned.
