My wife, Shi-mei, and I are retired and I'm 62 and she is 64. I was a hospital administrator and technology expert for over 30 years. I am from Chicago and my wife is oroginally from Tiawan. We have lived in California for almost 20 years and love the outdoors and explotation. We were married in Hawaii in 1980 and have three grown children, one living in London, one living in Chicago and one in San Jose, CA. We have one granddaughter and our second grandchild on the way.
We have traveled quite a bit and hope to spend time over the next 20 years doing more exploring and some cultural exchanges. We have done some significant hiking, including part of the Camino De Santigo, and this is one of our most enjoyable actvities. My wife is very active and involved in a number of dance programs and I am an active golfer.
We are very much interested in music and live perfromance and hve attended events in a number of countries.
Our home is just North of San Francisco (about 30 minutes by car to the central city) and we are just south of the California wine country (about 20 minutes by car). The area is called Marin county and has some o fthe best hiking and beach areas in Northern California. It is a 3 bedroom / 3 bath home with a sudy that serves as an additional 4th bedroom as needed. We have a hot tub on the lower of our 2 outdoor decks and a number of fruit trees as well as a nice rose garden.
The road for our house is a cul de sac with about 20 homes in total on a steep hill. At the end of the cul de sac is a county trail that provides excellent views and a great walking experience. There is shopping and restaraunts less than a mile away and the downtown area for our small town is about 5 miles away.
