4th day. in the valley, to go down to the river, we have to go down on the steep....!

i wanted to go down the steep to the river side in this valley. to take pinhole photos for my new project... i asked to Kristmundur to drive me to find a good place for it... i tried to find out way to go down, looked around carefully from the car window. it looked very difficult.... Then!! i surely saw a car stopped on the bank down there!! and some people were walking around!!! there must be a road that a car can drive down!!! it was the other side of the valley though, i asked to Kristmundur "could you please take me down there?" He said "ok i think now i know where you are talking about... very sure ok!" whoa!! it was the land of his friends farmer! he knew the place very well!!! whoa!! but he had to drive all the way to the bridge first this side, then across the river valley, and again all the way same direction drive back on the other side... oh Thank you so much Kristmundur!!! i was so glad. i think this is the perfect place to work :D

ah!!

川岸で、川と岩をバックに、ピンホールカメラ使ったプロジェクトを撮りたいって思ってて。でも気がついたんだけど、ここは谷だから、谷の川岸にたどり着くには断崖みたいな所を下りて行かなきゃいけないじゃん!!がーん・・・どうにか下りれる道ないかな・・・と思ってKristmundurが運転してくれている車から注意深く眺めてた。そしたら、谷の反対側の岸、川辺に車を発見した!人も何人か歩いてた!わっ!車で下りられる道があるんだ!・・・とそのことをKristmundurに報告したら、どうやらその場所の見当がついたみたいで、そこはKristmundurの友達のファーマーの土地らしい!よく知ってる場所だって!わーい!・・・けどそこに私を連れて行ってくれるためにKristmundurは、まず、こっち岸の道をずーっと橋があるポイントまでドライブして、橋を超えたら、Uターンして、反対の岸を同じ方向にまたずーっと戻ってこなきゃいけなかったという・・・!うー感謝!ありがとう!新しいプロジェクトの始動に、ぴったりな場所にたどり着けた!
