I went hiking
Last Sunday, I went hiking with my former cram school teacher, who is now my friend. I asked him if he wanted to go hiking in a nearby mountain with me and he said “sure”, so we did. Days before the Sunday are a little cold, but the Sunday was brightly sunny and warm with a pleasant breeze. That’s why I asked him to go outside together. We gathered at a park near the mountain. The park is 1 hour walk away from my house, and the top of the mountain is 1 hour walk away from the park if you chose the easy path, and 1 hour and a half walk away if you choose the difficult one. When I climb the mountain alone, I usually walk from my home. But since he is taller and thus heavier than me, he chose not to do that and we each went to the park by bicycle. We sometimes climb the mountain together, and when we do this, we talk a lot about culture, science, philosophy, etc. Of course, we talk about news in our lives, too. He quit his job this year and he is going to move this July, and he is studying for the upcoming TOEIC exam. He said TOEIC exams are different from other exams, because they have a lot of questions and examinees struggle not to run out of time. That’s why people have to prepare specifically for TOEIC exams, so that they don’t run out of time. Also, the questions are all business-themed, and he said it is a good thing because he can quickly learn useful English expressions used in actual business situations. After the long climb and talk, we reached the top of the mountain. As expected, the view was outstanding and I was glad that I was there. I took several pictures of the scenery and we rested a little, drinking fruit juice (me) and sports drink (him). Then we went back to our homes. I rarely go outside recently, so all my muscles were tired when we were on the mountain top, and I had sore muscles for the next two days. Even so, we have to do some exercise sometimes and I really wanted go outside for a change, so it was a really good excursion for me.

"We went back to our homes" is fine but "We went back home" is a lot smoother sounding.
