Last Sunday, the author and their friends went on a trip to the mountains that they had planned a month earlier. They took a 2 hour bus ride to the base of the mountain and were surprised by the steep stairs they had to climb to reach the top. Though it was tiring, they persisted and were rewarded with beautiful views from the summit. On the long descent, they stopped to rest and enjoy the scenery, picnic, and take pictures with friends. By the time they returned to the bus stop, it was 7pm, making for a long but very satisfying day trip to the mountains.
