Early morning we went to Kompirasan... It's an old temple, well known by the pilgrims to protect the people working in the sea....

We climb a lot of stairs....

To arrive to the old temple...

and beautiful panorama...

Then we drived from Kotohira to the Iya Valley... Arriving at the minshuku the grand-mother said to Yuta that something bad happened... In her restaurant room the television showed the awfull images of the tsunami in Northern Japan... I was really scared for my friend Aurélie and my jolie Yumi living there....

The grand-mother was really nice with us... We ate a lot and drunk her special alcool trying to go on with our lifes while people not so far have lost everything...
