Japanese Toriis

While in Japan, we went to the temple of the Thousand Toriis

It was breath taking…in more ways than one.  Both in its beauty, and in that you had to climb hundreds of steps to walk through the whole thing.  There I was, in my skirt and tennis shoes, panting embarrassingly loud, while all these Japanese girls in skinny jeans and STALETTO heels raced right by me without a problem.  Yeesh.  That made me feel great. =)
