Chino's prayer

A woman at Sayuri's workplace told us about a shrine located on the edge of the village that is visited by women who wish to have children. If an unmarried woman visits the shrine, does that mean she has a better chance of getting some? Chino wanted to give it a try. It had already gotten dark but we went anyway.

The cover of trees blocked out the moon and stars as we followed the narrow dirt path that led to the shrine. It was quiet, dark and altogether creepy. I kept expecting something to jump out from behind a rock or peek out from behind the trees. Chino got on her hands and knees, crawled through the three stone arches, and stepped up to the stone idol. She put her arms around the idol, rubbed her body against it, and swirled her hands all around the top. In the daytime the shrine probably has a sacred air about it, but in the middle of the night with no one around, she looked like some kind of pervert.

Yup, it's a giant wiener.

Hey! You're pictures from the last two posts are just coming up as red x's. Not sure if it's me, you, or blogger.

by the way...did you get my email I sent to let you know I got the package? Your post on my blog made it sound like you hadn't gotten it.
