Rachel, Sarah and Shophie, my super fun cousins in Marin County, California, showed me the ropes in Marin. I don't have to go to bed at 7, as my parents told me. They stay up much later, and rarely if ever nap. We stayed up till 9, even ten o'clock, talking about the meaning of life and advanced theories of ball throwing and hopscotch. They run around in their own private garden with sunflowers and climbing gyms. They traing three hours a day to be Olympic gymnists. People in Marin like to explore their bodies in public, eat organic foods and take bubble baths. I like having cousins in Marin.
