The Shikoku pilgrimage is a 1200km route connecting 88 Shingon Buddhist temples which are scattered around the Japanese island of Shikoku. I will begin the pilgrimage May 23rd and spend roughly 40 days walking around the island and visitng the temples. This is an adventure which was decided apon 6 years ago and which I've spent the last year and a half preparing for. You're welcome to join me as I update my progress from the road.
the 4th e-mail came in just a few minutes ago from bjarni walterson, my uncle in manitoba, canada.
i'll get a prize together right away.
and i'll start practice my singing,
currently on my way to temple 33.

I'm a 31 year old Canadian who has been living in Japan for six years. Life has been a little soft over the past few years and I've become a big ol' ball of butter. I've endured all of previous challenges but this will be a real test for me.
