climbing Mt.Takao---alone

Today was an ideal day for climbing mountains.

Once I thought of climbing Mt. Takao, I could not
stay at home.

At half past seven, I left my apartment and hurried
to the station.

I changed trains twice and arrived at Takaosanguchi Station.

I began to walk from the station.
I walked Inariyama Trail---alone.
It took me two hours to arrive at Momiji-dai, Oku-Takao.

Wow! I was happy to see Mt. Fuji so clearly!

At Momiji-dai, there is a cha-mise.

When I ordered nameko-miso-soup and sat at a table,
a lady came to my table and asked me to share the table
with her.

Then a gentleman joined.

We three had lunch together and enjoyed talking for one hour
or so.

The lady wanted to go to Itcho-daira and go down
Inariyama Trail with me.

She said she had never walked Inariyama -Trail.

So we said good-by to the gentleman and walked to Itcho-daira.

After taking a short rest, we walked a path through the forest
and returned to Inariyama Trail.

I hope she liked that trail.

We said good-bye near the station.

Probably it was "a once-in-a-lifetime meeting"

I walked 27496 steps today.
