ママが内科で診察を受けている間、こなつと1時間ほど北鎌倉の裏道を散歩していました。
While my wife was being examined by a physician, Konatsu and I took an hour-long walk along the back roads of Kitakamakura.
北鎌倉のメインの通りから梶原方面に向かっていく道ですが、車ではときどき通るけれど歩くのは初めてなので普段見過ごしている物が目に入ってくる。
It is a path from the main street of Kitakamakura toward Kajiwara, and although I sometimes pass by it by car, it was the first time for me to walk there, so I saw things that I usually overlook.
この辺りは道は狭いし、ちょっと広くなると道の真ん中に桜の木があったりして運転するのには嬉しくない道だけど歩いてみると静かで良い所に思えてくる。
The road is narrow in this area, and when it gets a little wider, there is a cherry blossom tree in the middle of the road, which is not a pleasant road to drive on, but when Iseems like a nice and quiet place.
こんな静かな場所だからこなつには嬉しいようで、軽やかに歩いていた。
Konatsu seemed to be happy to be in such a quiet place and walked lightly.
やがて上り坂になり､､､
Gradually, we started to go uphill…
葛原岡神社に向かう脇道が見えてくる。更にその先は銭洗弁財天へと続く道です。
A side road leading to Kuzuharaoka Shrine comes into view. Further ahead is the road leading to Zeniarai-benzaiten shrine.
神社のすぐ手前まで来たが、これ以上進むと戻るのに時間が足りなくなりそうなのでここで引き返すことにした。
We came to just before the shrine, but decided to turn back here, as we would not have enough time to return if we went any further.
車に戻って歩数計のアプリを開いてみた。1時間弱歩いた割には5000歩かぁ､､､とちょっとガッカリ(笑)
Back in the car, I opened my pedometer app and was a little disappointed to see that I had only walked 5,000 steps in less than an hour (lol).
