1000 Americans: Don Austin, San Jose

Don is the leader of a large walking group. The interesting part is that all members of the group are retired or at least have the age to do so. But they do not sit ‘behind the Geraniums’ as we say in the Netherlands 🙂

Every week they carpool together to hike for several hours, visiting the many great places close to the Bay Area in California, we met them at the Ano Nuevo State Reserve, where we had a great time together.
