At 5 PM, I took Maya-san in mini and drove to Shimosuwa where my parents live (and I was born). I took a highway (highways in Japan are not toll-free).
I dropped by Yatsugatake service area. Maya-san sniffed around. Venturing out seemed to be stimulating her.
From the service area was seen the combination of a highway and rice fields.
We arrived at my parents’ at 7 PM. Anju was there to avoid heat. She welcomed me.
Maya-san was happy with my parents, not with Anju. Maya-san and Anju know each other, but they are not the best friends. However, they played sometimes together.
Unlike Anju, Maya-san has her own profession of watching cats. She stayed up all night watching outside.
