Dear Ikko, Day 3

It's my third day on the road. My legs are starting to harden and they don't hurt as much. I'm also picking up on my hours. Yesterday—around 7 and today 8 ½. It's exciting to know that I'm actually getting somewhere. I think that I'm nearing the border, but I'm not sure how near I am. I've tried to ask some people, but it seems that the ones I ask aren't used to seeing a kid with wolf ears and a tail. I'm don't know what I should do about that.

It's starting to get a little warmer since I'm coming down the Ice Peninsula. Actually, I think I'm starting to get a little sick from it. My nose has been running and my throat's a little sore. It does have me a bit worried, but I think I'll manage.
