The sign says it all. This is a place where the crabs cross the road. Apparently they go inland at times and cross the road on their way to and from the ocean. We did not see any, probably the wrong time of year for the. A little further on, however, I did see a monkey run across the road. It all happened much to fast for me to get a picture. In fact by the time I got Ian's attention and got him looking in the right direction, the money was out of sight, deep in the woods.
We passed through a very pleasant small fishing port. The barge in the middle was in the process of digging out the channel. We stopped and watched for a while, both because it was interesting and because it was time for a rest stop.
All along the Henro Trail, there are places for pilgrims to stop and rest. Some, like this one, are put up by companies or even the government. Many are constructed and maintained by local clubs. The second type are the best because they usually have free food and drinks. The club members gain some of the Buddhist merit from the pilgrim's trip by assisting the pilgrims. In case you did not notice, that is me putting on my pack to continue our trek after a nice rest. Although this looks like it is in the woods, if you look carefully at the foreground on the right, you can see a small part of the road that Ian was standing on when he took the picture.
The route for the day contained a fishing port in almost every bay that we passed around. We walked around the inland side of a bay and then went up and over a high land separating us from the next bay. We repeated this all day.
