Land Lobsters

I had taken a few days vacation, so June 25th Aaron n I were in Takeno. Julius had to go to school, and the weather was sketchy, so we didn't hit the beach. Instead, we finally hiked up the mountain. You can see this mountain from the beach, and it juts out into the water, a bastion of green.



It wasn't far to the first point, but there were several challenges. The trail seemed to be moving. Upon closer inspection, we discovered massive numbers of strange insects. Aaron n I term them "land lobsters" while Julius prefers "sea cockroach." There were so many that you could hear them skittering under leaves and over rocks. It was like being in an Indiana Jones movie, but without nazis or treasure.
