Hi Gayle,
ReplyDeleteI just found this wonderful post. Thanks so much for featuring my site, you are scoring mucho amounts of blog Karma with this series :) I didn't know that you used to live in Shikoku.
I lived in Japan for years, have a Japanese wife, and walked the Shikoku Pilgrimage twice (writing a book on it now). Where did you live?
Hi Todd, Thanks very much. You walked it twice?! I only visited a few temples or shrines. I lived in Matsuyama in Ehime and went to Shinonome Girls School which is just below the castle. It was one of the best years of my life. Crazy stories of course.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your book! I know that challenge. I'll email. Ja ne :)
