During Dr. Akito Arima's visit, we took him to Muir Woods,
a protected Coast Redwood forest north of San Francisco. 
From this moss on this tree trunk, you can guess 
what kind of moist, ocean-influenced climate the Coast Redwood prefers.

January 11, 2006.  After a lovely meal at Cliff House, above the ocean, we shared the day's haiku in a kukai with several  judges.
