Our initial plan was to go on a day trip with my sister's family during the Christmas and New Year break. My nephew Richard caught a cold before the planned outing date, so it was just our family plus Longlong, Guibo's nephew who was visiting and staying with us for his winter break from his graduate study at UC Berkeley. We went to Muir Woods National Monument on December 30, 2012, a very sunny day. It was warm elsewhere, but not there. I knew that redwoods are very tall and big, but never made the connection between tall trees and their ability to block out sunlight so efficiently. It was cold and not sunny in the woods! Had I not been that cold, I would have enjoyed the walk more. But, the trees are truly magnificent .. Did I hear the melody of "This is my father's world" singing somewhere?
