Peregrinación

Ahora es mi ultima noche por dos semanas en la casa de los papás de Satomi. Mañana me voy a caminar una ruta de una peregrinación en la isla de Shikoku (aqui en Japón). Si, sola. Satomi y Rob la han caminada unas cuantas veces y me ayudaron planear mi ruta por dos semanas. Me va ir bién. Es mucho, mucho caminar, como unos 15-20 kilometros por dia, aveces mas, aveces menos. Es muy cansado, y mas que nada, es un challenge (I know, que pocha) mental. Escribo en unos dias.

I've been doing really well, spending a relaxing time in Koniya. Tomorrow I head for Shikoku on a pilgrimage route for two weeks. Satomi and Rob have been so instrumental in helping me plan my route, where to stay and give me all sorts of advice. The walk will be beautiful- I'll be walking (ok, more like hiking up) to some mountains, through valleys, and along the coast for a while. It will also be challenging and I'm sure I'll be tested in so many more ways. I'm excited, anxious and really looking forward to it. I'm leaving my large backpack here, I'll only be carrying a few things on me and then I'll return to digest, say hi to a new life (Satomi should have had the baby by then) and make my way to Korea. It's amazing what a "need versus want" mentality can do to make a lighter, easier load to carry.
