The first time I went to the Tourist Club, I had just moved to the Bay Area, my friend from high school took me to this Bavarian style hike in only club where people gather to drink beer and play games. I was obsessed, I dreamed about going back. So, when one of my customers told me she was the President of the Tourist Club, I put a star by her name to remember to connect with her. Little did I know, her and I would become really close friends. And not too long ago, I took of a Sunday to join her at the club. It reminds me so much of my adventures in Europe, hiking the GR routes and stopping at the end of a long physical day for a drink and some bonding. I long for lives like this and how lucky to have it in my backyard of Marin and to have befriended a European gal who has become such a good friend is a bonus.
