At the Carmel Mission

Roger Abe, Emiko Myashita (haiku poet and translator who lives in Japan) and
Kiyoko Tokutomi on a stop at the historic Carmel Mission after one of our YT Haiku Retreats.
We had but recently learned of the seriousness of Kiyoko's illness, so it was
a sad time, but wonderful to still be able to spend time together.

This earlier post is from that same outing.
