OK, so, I am *totally* being lazy on this one. Instead of doing short descriptions I numbered the photos -- got questions about a photo? tell me the number and i'll tell you all about it? (yes, i am a dork, but a dork with finished homework and a deadline to sleep!)

so, without further ado:

Wow, what unbelievably beautiful place! I would've died climbing those stairs though. Note to self... months of stair master training before mountain hiking.

The kitty was very sweet. I just wanted to reach out and give her/him a scritch under the chin.

I can see why you were exhausted after such a hike, but oh was it well worth it.

Thanks for sharing!

OMG I did totally die aftewards!! the sad part was it was not as difficult going back down, but just as many stairs, and my knees totally wobbled at the bottom. and to be honest, my shins hurt the rest of the time i was there OOF. the only good thing was that the hotel, because it was a ryokan style, had a hot bath in the basement that none of the other guests used so i had it to myself three nights running.

And the kitty was totally my friend!!! It followed me down the path for an amazingly long time - he (definitely he) was part of a group of cats that hang out around one of the shrines so i'm sure they're pretty good with people.

SO exhausted. but it really was. And supposedly going through just one of those orange gates cleanses you spiritually right? so going through like 1,000 of them my spirit has to be whistle clean now... right? ;)

thanks for looking lady - that's half the fun!
