Background Posts

The old Aki Meguri site had a  great deal of background information, including the mechanics of how I put the trip together; some details of the trip itself; and several pages on the "prayers" that I said along the way.

Rather than bog down the start of the blog with all that, I've placed it elsewhere, but here offer a quick guide for those who are interested. (It appears on this archive's Guide page as well.)
