Last Sunday we went hiking up 'something' higher than us. I say 'something' because I didn't know what that 'something' was. We could not figure out if it was a mountain or a hill of some sort. In fact I still don't know what it is.
I have to say, this was not your average hiking trail. I'm beginning to question if it was a hiking trail at all. Perhaps a way grown by our very own, mother nature. A gift. No, it couldn't be. We have not been treating her well. Why would she give us gifts? Yes, this was a suuuuuuuper rough hiking trail, it had blue markers.
First of all we could not get our car up the daggone hill. We were literally burning rubber to get through that turn. Kemet was freaking out, man. I thought I saw a tear. Yet, who wouldn't be a little frightened by smoke coming from the side of a car. Some people driving by may be thinking "Awe they broke down. Whatever let's get home." Me, I've watched enough action movies to know that a car CAN blow up. Anyway, my dad decided to park the car on the side of the road and me and Kemet got out, in the rain. Tsehai, just waking up, stayed in the car with Daddy as he parked it, nice and dry for the moment.
The hike was looooooooooooooong. I was so busy looking at my feet it was hard to take in all the beauty Mother Nature has to offer. However, when I did look up, I was in awe. The natural beauty and energy here makes me want to sit right down and write a poem... Hmmm. Anyways, I slipped about two times during that trip. I soon found out that we were hiking to ' [The] Historical Yamada stone bridge' after reading the paper with instructions of how to get there. I have to say we didn't make it there because we didn't have enough water to go on. Besides, having se-se slowed us down a bit.
Sorry if this blog bores you. I feel as if people these days don't always need good writing, just pictures to prove an event happened. I can tell you my writing is sincere and proof enough. But I will make a better effort to take and paste pictures to the entries.

This blog is far from boring! Your desciptive literary style is appreciated ;) Even after being in the Girl scouts for eight years, I get really freaked out by bugs, but I must say, these Japanese bugs are beautiful! Thank you for sharing! We all get to experience a piece of Japan through your wonderful writing :))
