Dan: Barefoot Trekking, Who's Afraid?
Dan is a high school student who decided to experience a hiking trip before the summer vacation ended, of course, barefoot. The location was by a lake, a scenic area. When we bought the tickets, we didn't purchase the shuttle bus tickets. The ticket seller said, “It will take over an hour to walk there.” In the afternoon, the ground was a bit hot, but she could still handle it, walking naturally while enjoying the roadside scenery. When we encountered water-friendly areas, we would go down to wade and play. She took big strides and walked quickly, making it hard for me to keep up while carrying the camera. Her bare feet on the road seemed as if she were wearing canvas shoes. As we approached the destination, she started to struggle a bit, saying her feet hurt a little. No wonder—even my legs were sore from wearing shoes, haha.
