I have a lot of nice memories with my father.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He was a professor, so he had spring break, summer vacation, winter break, same time we had them when we were students.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When he was young, he used to climb high mountains, like Japanese Alps. And he loved to take us hiking. My brother and I enjoyed hiking very much. Now my brother is a photographer of mountains including wildflowers, rivers, \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6nature.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I remember my father took my brother and me to a mountain hut for climbers where was in Japanese Alps to stay in summer vacation. I believe it was when I was a middle school. During us staying, nobody came to the mountain hut.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My father didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like a car, so he didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have driver license.<\/p>\n

We lived in Tokyo.\u00c2\u00a0 We had to carry everything we need during staying from Tokyo.<\/p>\n

We took a train, a bus and hike up to get the mountain hut. We left home very early morning, and get there almost sunset time.<\/p>\n

Then my father put all food in cans and hang them for saving from eaten by some creatures.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There was no shower nor bath tub, so we went to the river.<\/p>\n

In the morning, we were above clouds. It was fantastic.<\/p>\n

I remember that I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have paint with me, but I had a sketchbook and a pencil. I did a lot of drawings of scenery.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

During staying, we almost run out food, my father wanted to just continue reading books, so my brother is seven years younger than me and I had to go climbing down two mountains to do grocery shopping. I felt a great adventure. But when we got back home and told my mother, she didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like that.<\/p>\n

Now I know what my mother felt. We could encounter bears or some.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some how he had never took us to any beach.<\/p>\n

The location of this painting \u00e2\u20ac\u0153 Daddy & daughter\u00e2\u20ac\u009d was in San Diego. It was a warm day in January.<\/p>\n

This painting recalled my child food with my father.<\/p>\n

What is your story?<\/p>\n
