Nagano
I’m usually really good with directions, at least in terms of knowing where I’ve been, but some time after this picture I noticed that the path I had u-turned on had puddles of water that I did not tread through before. It didn’t make sense to me, but it felt like I was going in the same direction. So I kept going. When I made it back to open road I was clearly nowhere near where I was before. but the mountains were still to the right of me, and I started to go downhill, so it made sense. Eventually I connected back with the path. Or I’m still lost out there and this is all some fever dream. In which case, you’re not reading this anyway.
excellent awkward
