Marin County is where I call home. I have lived here since 1965 and traveled quite a bit, but this is the only place I could ever call home. Growing up here I have seen many changes. Marin has very fascinating history that I keep discovering more and more of. The Marin of today is alive and thriving with it's emphasis on quality of life through award winning schools, preservation of natural beauty and open space, bustling towns with European flair, convenient shopping and wonderful restaurants
Marin has some fun events, street fairs, art festivals and film festivals.

Marin County is a favorite of bicycle enthusiasts with scenic back roads for road biking, many bike paths through and around towns for touring and great mountain bike trails and half tracks. Check out the GGNRA site for bike trails through the National Parks.
Another favorite of mine is Kayaking through the waterways and coastal areas of Marin.
Ever since we moved to Marin I have been hiking throughout Marin and remember the early years with my Mom and Mrs. Tawilliger.
My favorite Hairstylist and long time friend is Howie at Howie's Haircutting at 2400 Miller Creek Rd. in Marinwood. Phone (415) 254-1112
