| California '71-'74. During my studies in Berkeley, I was able to accompany my housemates on various trips exploring California. Some were for study trips for projects and others I made on my own but they were all interesting and unforgetable. | |||

Our professor and landlord, Alan Forest, rented a houseboat on the Sacramento Delta for a day and invited some of his friends and students to join him. I had never been on a houseboat. It was so much fun, I did my first project on a houseboat.

Auburn and Nevada City. In the summer of '73, the then head of San Francisco Zen Center built a cottage called Shobo-an in Nevada City. The building was in Kyoto, de-essembled and shipped to California. The priest's brother-n-law was studying Japanese carpentry and organized the shipment and re-building, with the help of Japanese carpenters. I was asked by my friend Lucy, who was studying Zen at the Center, if I would be interested in helping with communication with the carpenters and in general. I was more than happy to join them. I spent three weeks in the forest assisting them. (See a separate file 'Shobo-an' for the story and slides.) We frequently went to the town to get supplies and we bathed in the Yuba River.

I cannot remember when or with whom I went to Yosemite the first time. I have a feeling it was Lucy but could it have been a day trip?

We heard that UC Santa Cruz student housing being built was designed by Charles Moore. We wanted to see it.

Jenny's mother had a condo in Del Mar. We accompanied her summer of '72(?) ti visit her. We spent July 4th there, my first.

I went to visit Yoko in L.A. I made her drive to many interesting buildings, especially by Frank Lloyd Wright. Many seem to be in great need of maintenance.
