| Fog drifts through the giant redwood trees in Muir Woods National Monument |
This beautiful stand of redwoods fills a valley just north of San Francisco and easy driving distance from where the kids live in Redwood City and Burlingame. We arrive late in the afternoon and are pleasantly surprised by the dissipating crowds. Shortly before the end of World War II, delegates from 50 nations of the newly formed United Nations met in these woods. We are able to stand on the same spot. The silent majesty of these ageless giants inspires awe and a feeling of inner peace.
We need to go up there more! I love walking under those trees, i find it to be quite humbling and somehow comforting.
