Japan

 Last week was Golden Week in Japan and I wanted to continue my Camino training as well as visit Tokyo, Japan.  So I made it a point to bring my hiking boots and continue to walk as much as possible during my time in Japan.  Turns out that Tokyo offers many lovely places to walk...



Here is a short video I made to record the highlights of the trip.  Many thanks to my friends in Japan for joining our adventure.

Well, at least I finished my first Camino! The rain came and went a bit this morning... ...but it was dry for my final meander into the city!   What a thrill it was to finally enter the plaza and see the goal in front of me - and to be welcomed by several other Camino family members!   More later after some rest, a few toasts and a little processing...

The infrastructure continues to improve as this portion has significantly more pilgrims.   I took the opportunity to ease myself off simple pilgrim meals and back to more modern items, like avocado and salmon toast.  (OK, maybe pilgrims of long ago had special toast too.)  The groups are getting larger and more organized.  Lots of young people are enjoying The Way and that makes me smile.  I also love all the families walking together.  This has become a very diverse, yet integrated group of all ages and nationalities.  I met one youth group from a church in Mississippi and think they were 20+ in number. ...
