Mount Kōya (Again)















Well, here we are again.  Back to the beginning.  Completing the Shikoku pilgrimage is no joke-- it was very hard, unrelenting work the entire way, but now that we're sitting here in the bus terminal, waiting for the bus back to Ôsaka, I realize that it was worth it.

I might have to throw away these shoes when I get home, though.  They served me well, but I think they've pretty much reached the end of their little shoe lives.
