August 18 Yesterday, I went to Akikawa Keikoku(秋川渓谷) with my dorm friends and some people from another dorm. It was my first time to visit there, so I felt excited and enjoyed comfortable atmosphere of the place. Most of the time, we played in a river or had a BBQ by the river. The place was so crowded with many family and young groups. As the sunlight was strong, my body got heated whenever I was out of the river. Bathing myself into the river was so comfortable since Japan is in the middle of hot summer season. Boiled meat, onion, carrot, corn, green pepper, etc, were yummy. I could meet some of my old friends. It was such a nice day. However, I had two bad experiences. Firstly, I twisted and sprained my right ankle in the river, so I cannot walk well now. Secondly, my body surface is aching because of the sunburn. Now I think I should have been more careful of myself, but I'm satisfied with the visit to the place.
