17 September 2007: Off to the Okayama countryside to visit Claire's friends, Sara and Shuzo, at Wallabis Farm.
The 100 year old Japanese farm house, rice fields, and vegetable garden will soon find the addition of a bread shop. After our fresh lunch we heard stories about other ways in which the countryside has changed.
Their 80 year old neighbors no longer cultivate the forests, which have now become overrun with bamboo. Even wild boars are coming off the hills into the garden. Hunters follow and electric fences are turned on.
Walking around the garden, Lauren's in her ecology element.
