山のピクニック

A Mountain Picnic

Since I only have one class on thursdays, I was able to tag along with a few friends on a small picnic. Of course, the weather turned all clowdy and cold before we left, but we decided to go anyway.

The walk was pretty far and uphill, and I was beginning to regret going, but when we arrived at the park, I saw how beautiful it was! We looked at the map and decided to eat by a lake, so we followed the path that we thought was going to take us there. We walked through this forest up all these stone steps, and I thought that it was weird to be going so far up hill to get to this lake...there must be some big plateau. Once we got to the summit, we realized that we must have taken a wrong turn...but good thing we did!

The view of the mountain was outstanding! It is the kind of view you always want to see in Japan, but you think that it's only in anime or movies and that you have to go deep into the countryside to see it, but this was about a 30min walk from school!

After eating our food at the mountain, we walked around the park a little longer and found this cool looking fountain. But after chilling at a sitting area nearby, we needed to go back to campus. Right now, my little brother has a feaver and is not breathing too clearly. :( It's nothing serrious though; I think he's just a little sick.

(I've been trying to load pictures of the fountain...but it's not working right now...I'll put them on facebook and link it over!)
