SPECIAL FULL MOON WALK to the Water Tower, Petaluma, meet at Aqus Cafe, 5 miles

http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/0/3/1/event_19684145.jpegSpecial Full Moon Walk to the Water Tower, Petaluma.

This Coming Wednesday is the Full Moon! Let's take advantage of that and walk up to the Water Tower. We'll take the same route we did the last time we went to the Water Tower on a Wednesday Night Walk. We'll make good time getting there with a brisk walk, and then take our time going up the hill... taking breaks as needed. We won't rush you up the hill.

We'll stay for a few minutes at the top to take in the view before heading back down and returning to Aqus Cafe.

We might go a few minutes late on this night. Please be flexible on the return time. We will be back no later than 7:45-ish.

• Want to walk for fitness and exercise?
• New to walking and want to build up stamina?
• Like a slower pace than our Tuesday Night Fitness Hike?
• Would walking with a committed group of walkers help you?

If you said yes to any of these, then the Wednesday Night Walk in Petaluma is for you.

Afterward if you have the time, join us at Aqus Cafe for a bite to eat and some liquid refreshment before heading home. Aqus Cafe is a true gem of a gathering place, restaurant, coffee house, and live music venue. But it's the people on either side of the counter that make this place so special.
