Risa San Ready For Fuji San


Got a pair of hiking poles today in Bay Village, Ohio to help me get up and down Fuji San in Japan (see beautiful photo to right!). This purchase after I learned the hard way from my recent backpacking trip in Yosemite (TEAM AWESOME!) that my knees aren't exactly the best part of my bod.

The Japanese put the word "san" after their mountains. It's not the same "san" that goes after a person's name as an honorific, but another way to pronounce yama, the word for mountain.

The climb up Fuji San will be a first for me. If I follow Yosemite Leonard's advice for Japanese adventures, I will also be eating a lot of Kobe beef and paying for someone to walk on my back.
