38.5km縦断walk

This event I did during summer vacation is basically a community walk, but mostly done with the first years at two of my middle schools.  We walked from one end of town to the other (after crossing through an intersecting town in the middle by bus).  We walked 38.5 kilometers about 24 miles in maybe 10-11 hours? over a span of two days.  It was such a great experience, not only walking, but also staying the night and having like a massive sleepover with students and teachers and townspeople.  Of course my body was so sore and the back of my knees actually got swollen.  But it was worth it all.  I saw such beautiful nature.  The weather was really nice (too good actually--I wish it was a little bit more overcast).  I have so much more to say, but that's it for now.  Please check out the pictures and the captions!

I'm uploading this post super late (August 18), so almost a month after this happened.  I'm falling behind on uploading as expected from me.  So I might be missing some pictures, but if I notice I'll upload them later.
