While walking the Philosophers Path, I had a revelation. The path was named for its ability to bring clarity and focus. In particular, clarity and focus on where you put your feet, because those stones are pretty treacherous in places. The path culls the weak and unfocused mind, bodily removing the poor philosophers from the gene pool and leaving only the greats.
The Philosopher's Path
Murder stones
Beautiful colours abound to distract the weak
It also features crazy old men on bicycles that randomly accost travelers and exhort them to visit Honen-in shrine. It sounded like a trap. We readied Locutus in the baby carrier, prepared to toss him and flee the moment a threat appeared.

LOL! At first I read this like a travelogue, then I did a double-take at your second sentence. Then I started laughing. Love it! (Especially the very succinct "Murder stones.") Glad you made it out alive!
It's a very serious travel blog. Honest.
