かわいいらしく私の学生が歩いていきました。
一番先頭は旬子さん(だれもが認める山歩き専門家)
My students are
fortunate having a path-leader Tokiko san,
one of my classmates who lives in
Nara City. In those days
she commuted between Sakurai and Nara City, a long
way walking included...
Here is what a participant wrote about walking in Japan:
".................NO, most
of us had weak feet from all the walking
(Iguess americans aren't used
to walking that much).
I usually do better than most, but japan proved
me
wrong...Be in better shape to withstand the walking.
(comment for
myself)
I loved the shrines (aside from me liking
priestesses). The area
had a really good feel to it.
Perhaps its because the shrine's caretakers
have a
strong love for the forest. I really don't know but
perhaps when I
return next year I'll find out........."
The student went back to
Miwa Shrine on the last day
by himsel. He will find mystery that struck him
someday...
