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.
i playing a game. i call it "left, right, left, blow".
in the time it takes to walk four steps a big drop of sweat has collected on the end of my nose. i blow it off and let it collect again, and i blow it off.
i know not much of a game. for added fun i see how far i can blow the drop of sweat. i also try to aim for various targets on the trail.
it's hot. :)

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.
