Emma Carpenter and Victoria Rico sip coffee as they chat and laugh in the shade behind Rustic Bakery July 31.

 

The two women say the caffeinated meetups are a ritual of theirs, one that started shortly after their chance meeting in Tiburon.

 

Carpenter, 27, is a swim instructor, coach and lifeguard at the Tiburon Peninsula Club. She moved to town in November from Santa Clarita, where she lived with her parents and two brothers.

 

Rico, also 27, is studying communications at the College of Marin; she moved to Tiburon a year ago from Buenos Aires, Argentina, where she lived with her mother and two sisters.
