Masa's Report Ｎｏ2 (August 1) Friday's
Best Two
- Morning Walk At about 10 o'clock this morning, Sayuri, Joe, and I took a
walk. The walk's purpose was to get strawberries, but we ended up gathering three
things from the mountain. We picked many blueberries for an hour. Joe ate the
blueberries as he picked them. After that we gathered Sassafras roots (the main ingredient
of root beer). As we pulled the small sassafras trees, the roots had a strong sweet
smell. I want to drink the tea from these roots soon! Then we picked some horse
mint. I hope to drink this tea soon too.
- Joe's Spring and the Etowah Bath： This afternoon we ran out of
drinking water so we went to Joe's Spring to get more. This spring flows from the
bottom of a small cliff next to the Etowah river. But this time there were rocks
blocking the water flow so the spring had changed. Joe tried to open the hole in the
rock, but the water would not flow properly. We found another place below the cliff and
gathered the water. After that we went swimming and bathing in the Etowah river. It
felt great! I want to do it again. But when I was putting on my shoes after
swimming, I slipped and fell into the river! Jyapuun!!
