Travels...(last weekend!)

(No wonder we get lost so easily!!) Over the weekend we decided to seek out some greener spaces and try some new kinds of transportation, so here's a quick recap of our weekend adventures! On Saturday, we wanted to locate some hiking trails near where we live so we grabbed a map, packed a picnic, and hopped in the car. During this venture we were reminded about the differences in how Japanese roads/maps are structured because the roads that we needed to follow were not marked or named, so we just had to kind of meander through little villages and hope that we were following the right roads to the trail. (Probably knowing how to read some Japanese would have helped - oh, well!) We finally found the path that we wanted after 3 or 4 times of not making the correct combination of turns and then we enjoyed a great afternoon of hiking up along a ridge line where we could see the whole coastline of the Miura Peninsula. (including our first glimpse of Mt. Fuji - which you can see faintly on the right side of the background!)
