Not getting video so forget about it !

Well when I view this blog the video doesn't show up.  Friend from Hawaii says he got it but I'm unable to pull it up, so will stick with pix for now

My group...all Brits. Hard time understanding them except Ben our guide on the left

Christian statue disguised as Buddist statue

Start of the trek

Over the first hill coming down to Ochiai.  See the house on the upper left. Our first minshiku for the night is above that on the ridge.

Feet soaking break in the gutter.  Actually mountain water...crystal clear and cold

First night's dinner at Shinchaya. Good but after the days hike, hot bath and a full stomach knocked me out
