Adventure 1

Went on an exploring bike ride with some old friends today.  Went to the coastline of Chiba (kind of a gross beach, but it was a really pretty, misty day, and worth seeing), and saw a lot of earthquake damage.  In fact, I fell into a crack at one point because it was covered in grass and I didn't see it.  Only one leg, but all the way up to the hip, and still no bottom.  Got a few cuts and scratches, but nothing bad.  Mostly I was just really shocked by the huge crack in the earth.  Kept going, stopped by a used stuff store, and then biked back.  On the bike back we went through a park, in which many of the paths were cracked, elevated by differences of around a foot, and tilted steeply to one side.  It was a kind of frightening, but at the same time kind of beautiful in the twilight.  I wish I had a nice camera and a few hours to take pictures of all the stuff I saw today.
