月曜日はハイキングにいきました。 はしめて1700メートルの山にのぼりました。 むずかしいでした、でもわかった。 あしはまだつかれている😂🙈🥵 El lunes fui a hacer senderismo. Por primera vez subí a un pico 1700. Fue difícil pero lo conseguí. Mis piernas todavía están cansadas😂🙈🥵 On Monday, I went hiking. For the first time, I climbed a 1,700m peak. It was difficult, but I made it. My legs are still tired. 😂🙈🥵
