Mt Kinpo and Mt. Mizugaki, And Daily Life

hey all,

Here are some pictures and videos from our last trip.

We went to two mountains: Mt. Kinpo and Mt. Mizugaki, both of which are on the 100 Famous Mountains of Japan list.

I apologize for the funny expression, but Michi sat the hike up to Mizugaki out, so I had to try to take my own picture.

Showing off my new tights. When you position those grey bands just right, they support your knees and shins.










So that was the trip we took last weekend.

In other news, we've been watching the HBO Rome series on Hulu, and that has been pretty fun. And I've been playing through the original Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite, and I'm really pleased with both of them.

Below are some home-made curries that we've enjoyed in the last few weeks.



Cheers,

Ryogamidake

hey all,

Some pics and video from the last trip. We have another one this weekend (as it is a four day weekend), so gotta keep it short.


The second day's hike started on the right and followed the ridge to the left. Yes, that means we did have to go up, climb down the other side, then climb back up again.

Sign says that if you die while trying to climb the route, it is your fault for doing such stupidly dangerous things.
Also, the chains that were on the route have been removed, making the dangerous route even more dangerous.
