After mom rested for a couple days trying to get over there the jetlag from her trip, we took her on her first trip off the base. We went to the Aeon Mall - which is located next to the base. We ate at a restaurant that served a more traditional Japanese cuisine than what we would normally eat. Everyone really enjoyed the food - very good.
Afterwards, mom went to a bookstore to find a book by an nature painter and naturalist that was featured on a Japanese television show that we had watched the previous night. We were able to find the book because we showed the employees a photo of the book that we had taken when we paused the show and used our phone to get a picture of the book cover. Amazingly, the employees were able to identify the book and they had the book in stock.
Here is the screenshot that we used.
The Japanese love eggs, note the egg on the plater at the bottom of the picture. The book is neat it has lots of wildflowers with tiny insects on most of them. The most interesting page is about seed dispersal, you can see the twisted pods shooting seeds in the air.
