i wandered around the little streets in between the little houses and gardens on the island. i had gone back in time - all of the houses were old and there clearly wasn't a modern sewer system. even walking amongst the houses in town i kept noticing the biggest fucking spiders i'd ever seen just hanging out on their big horrible webs! i was creeped out!
i made my way up and away from the houses to the base of the tallest peak on the island. there was a line of red torii gates covering the trail that wound up the face of what turned out to be a small mountain and a pretty challenging climb. i reached to top in time to see a foggy, but cool sunrise! i hiked from peak to peak that morning and saw some great views of the islands that dot the inland sea. i packed out and ferried back in time for a very long day at work..
i've taken my weekend to catch up on grocery shopping and laundry and things. too much go, go, go. i've fallen behind in my blogging and i'm all adventured out. i'm glad i went before winter really set it though. i'll go back in the summer and i'll try and check out all the other villas.
