day 2, 6:30am, the last train

it's another early morning.
i spent the night in tokushima, the birthplace of geos (the english school i was teaching for). i thought about visiting school no.1, but decided against it. six years is enough geos for me! (of course i could always enjoy more time at mishima and shizuoka schools)

today is my last train trip until i head back home. this also maybe my last upbeat e-mail for a while. no doubt i'll be complaining about the heat, blisters, and the big hills.
the hills are big! when i awoke this morning i saw for the first time the large silouettes of mountains surrounding the city. it was definately an "oh, fudge" moment.

well, i'm off. for those of you following on the map, i've just arrived near temple 1. i should be around no.6,7, or 8 by the end of today.
you-sho!
