Hey Mocha Queens!
Let’s shake things up. For our next meetup, we’re strapping on our walking shoes and taking on San Diego’s Seven Bridges Hike — a 5–6 mile urban loop that winds through Balboa Park, Hillcrest, Bankers Hill, and a few hidden corners of the city. We’ll cross seven distinct bridges, peek into canyons, wander through neighborhoods, and stop for snacks and a restroom break at Cafe Figaro.
Bring your walking shoes, journal, curiosity, and camera. Wear layers (it shifts from shade to sun), carry water, and be ready to talk, ponder, and share.

### The Twist:

As we walk, keep your eyes open for anything that feels literary — a bookstore sign, a quote on a wall, an author’s name on a plaque, a book cover, or a phrase etched somewhere.
When you spot one, take a photo. That’s your proof.
By the end of the hike, aim to collect seven different literary finds.
We’ll compare photos at the finish and celebrate whoever captures the most unique finds (or all seven).

### A Few Tips:

  • Stay safe and aware of your surroundings.
  • Be creative — the best finds are often hidden in plain sight.
  • Save your photos in order or jot a note so you remember each find.

This isn’t just a hike — it’s a literary treasure trail, a blend of stories, steps, and sisterhood.
Let’s make this walk our story in motion.

See you on the trail!
