Thanks

I want to thank everyone who has shown me support on this trip, every single one of you has been amazing to me. I was wondering if anyone could send me some of their favorite lyrics, because I have this nasty habit of singing when I'm hiking and I keep singing the same five songs over and over again. Which are
1) Across the Sea by Weezer
2) Give me the loot by BIG
3) Various Beatles tunes
4) Fly me to the moon by Ol' Blue Eyes
5) I saw the sign by Ace of Base, (that last one is a joke...sort of)

I started the 88 temple hike a couple days ago, and unknowingly became a religious pilgrim called a henro. It involves wearing a sash, white garments, a ridiculous hat and praying at every single temple while lighting candles, burning incense, and reciting sutras.

I have pictures, video, and audio accounts of the trip which I will share with all of you when I see you. Many strange and wonderful things have happened and it would take way to long to write it all down.

I have hiked about 60km, have visited 17 temples, and have 5 blisters on my right foot, but kobo daishi is walking with me, so it's all good. I don't know if I'll be able to finish all of the temples because Yifei wants me to join her in Okinawa, and what kind of gentleman would I be if I turned her down?
