Some of the Japan I was looking for.

I went riding today. It hurt. I had been way too long since I had gone for a long ride like that, but it felt great none the less. I rode along the Ara river, which is usually translated as the Arakawa river, but kawa means river, so It would be the Ara river river. Anyway, that is the place that you see in a lot of manga, which has the big grassy knolls with the path at the top that looks onto the river from one side, and the river and the other. Lots of people running, riding bikes, people just sitting, it was really pretty, except for all of the grey because the weather wasnt especially great. And, as usual when I ride, I forgot my camera. But at least I know where to go, and it is very close to my house. It felt amazing, but, I hurt. I dont know what I am doing for the next while, but I hope riding is there. Calligraphy club tomorrow.
