Greetings! my name is Donna Schumacher and I am the “d” in deTourist. I am an architect and long distance runner in San Francisco where I live. As architect, I am the owner and the entire staff of X: architecture/Art. (http://xaa.net). As runner, I took up long distance running in 2008 with my first half marathon when I was 51. Running has become a long awaited mentor: insisting on perseverance, thriving on consistency and staying open to the possibility that everything just might work out after all. Plus, it’s super fun!
deTourist focuses on my experiences as a runner. Running is the perfect means to explore cities and discover the hidden stories that are right under our feet.
Hey De,
I LOVE it! This blog, and the fact that you are writing about your running experience, blening it with reflections about art. I don’t think that the design is bad at all. What matters more is that the reader wants to keep on reading. And you are writing so well! So, keep it up, I am already looking forward to your next entry.
Your greaton friend
Yay Donna!

This is important information to be writing about. It’s like oral history cum walkabout. Congratulations!
Donna,
Great little gems!
