Announcement: 2024 Walk The Loop[en] Invitation

 

Commemorative Walk in Tribute to Ertina Loopen

Hello friends of Ertina Loopen.

Please feel welcome to join us at 2 p.m. SLT on Sunday, August 4, 2024 to take a lovely walk through the scenic regions of Ville de Coeur in tribute to Ertina Loopen.

The quaint village of Ville de Coeur and its surrounding countryside is inspired by the real life French and Italian Riviera and was the location where Tina would take an annual anniversary walk with her partner, Journey Texan. Now, without Tina to complete the trip herself, Journey is inviting Tina's friends to take the walk in her absence as a way of celebrating friendships and caring for both Tina as well as any others who are important in their lives.

If you would like to join us, there is plenty of room on the trail for everyone. Bring a partner, a friend, or even someone you would like to know better to share a hands-free, automated couple's walk through the delightful scenery. Even taking the walk alone can be a meaningful way to pay tribute to anyone else that has been important to you.

Walking the complete loop takes over an hour, so don't feel obligated to do the entire thing if you don't want to. Feel free to stop anywhere along the way to sight-see or to return to your other usual activities elsewhere on the grid. Taking a trolley or a horse-drawn carriage along the walking path is another delightful travel option.

The walk begins at or anytime after 2 p.m. Simply use the couple's walk at the location of the LM below and away you'll go! 

Coeur d'Azur Seaside Village & Beach-Ville de Coeur, Coeur d Azur (162, 160, 23) - Moderate

If you are interested to walk while holding an event sign in tribute to Tina, a touchable sign will be available at the start. This can signify to others nearby that you are walking with a special purpose.

If you come, I'll see you out on the loop!

With heartfelt appreciation,
Journey Texan for the Ertina Loopen Memorial Foundation
