Hot girl 🤔 (you'll need to brib - uhh, lobby - your case)We'll start our Sunday with a little movement, sunshine, and new friends 💕
We’ll meet at the park and walk in circles as normal people do - a relaxed, social walk with gorgeous views of overpriced apartments and condos where the people can't stop talking about how much money they contribute to their 401k and the prestige of the company they work at.
After the walk, we’ll meet somewhere ??? if there's interest (Great Mall and Trader Joe's are just a few minutes away) for our post-walk reflection.
We won't get coffee, because we don't need that stuff to survive until lunchtime. Matcha? We don't do that here. Light bite? There's grass in the park.
🌟 Schedule:
9:00 AM — Meet at McCandles Park
9:10 – 10:55 AM — Social walk + a few photo stops when we talk blurry photos where you can't see anything 📸
10:55 AM — Optional post-walk reflection somewhere💖 What to Bring:
👟 Comfy walking shoes (barefoot is better for strengthening your feet but wtv)
👒 Sunnies or a hat (or full on hiking sun protection)
💧 Water bottle (or a gallon guzzler)
✨ Your glow + good vibes (or not, idc)This park is close to public transit stops, so you can save yourself the misery of driving next to Bay Area drivers by taking BART or VTA. It's about 15 minutes walking from the Great Mall VTA station (5 minutes on a bike/e-scooter) and about 20 minutes walking from the Milpitas BART station (9 minutes on a bike/e-scooter - prob less if you cross the road instead of making a U-turn).

Let's get some shawarma/falafel this Wednesday evening then go for a walk. As a heads up, this is the first time we'll be getting food at a somewhat sit-down place, so it might be a bit chaotic. To keep things simple, place your order when you arrive or order ahead of time using the link below so you don't need to wait, and we can get a table (or multiple) together as people arrive. The ordering/table part might be tricky, but the walk part after should be simpler since we should have everyone by then. If you're not interested in eating/already have dinner plans, you can also join us for just the walk.
Here's their page https://www.theshawarmaji.com/
and here's a link to order online https://www.theshawarmaji.com/s/order?location=L6QBH83Q9SEFC&menu=trueTentative agenda
6:45-7:45 order, eat, talk
7:50ish: head out to walk
7:55-whenever: walk and talkIf you came for the ice cream tacos, this spot is about a 5 minute walk from there so you can probably park at the same place again. This means we're close to Santa Clara University and Santa Clara Mission again, so we'll walk over and check those out after.
