We decided to have another race up the last 1/3 of the mountian. my host father gave me a run for my money, only a 5 minute rest at the top before he came. another 10 minutes for the other 2.
we found our way up the mountian and me and my host father raced Momo chan up the steep incline. Okamura san had to take a small rest after getting up the whole thing.
