Mom's first week in Japan

After going to the mall on Sunday, Zach came over to see mom on Monday.  And we ended up eating at Chili's.

During the week we visited Blue Street to do some shopping - mom ended up buying some local honey with ginger among other things.

She also did some birding at the Ikego campground area. At the Ikego campground, we learned about yaguras - small caves dug into the sides of the mountains that were used as tombs several hundred years ago. Here is a picture of one.

On Friday, mom got to experience Mona's favorite Japanese type of restaurant to eat at - the yakatori. A yakatori features meat, vegetables, etc. on skewers and fried rice (the main reason Mona likes these places).

Finally, on Saturday we traveled to a nearby base called Atsugi to watch Macie's last basketball game of the season. Unfortunately, we were missing a of couple girls, so we struggled. But this was one of the highlights - a video of Macie making a three pointer.
