About to get on the road

We've taken a three month "break" from traveling since we got to Martinez. It's been two months since we've updated, but only one noteworthy thing has happened. About six weeks ago, Ben and I adopted a dog from an animal shelter nearby. We've been wanting to adopt a dog for a while. She's a chihuahua mix, and we named her Bebe! She's really cute and loves belly rubs. We think she probably has some jack russell or rat terrier in her, because aside from looking like that, she's very fast and has a ton of energy. I took her on a couple of bike rides a couple days ago, and it was a great way for her to run nearly full speed while I biked at a moderate pace. She loves running and it's good for her to get hard exercise, because she can be a little hyperactive sometimes... Onto the pictures!

A few days after we got her:




The next two pictures show a frequent series of events:

She just loves her belly rubs.




We've taken her to the marina here in Martinez, as well as a dog park nearby. Here are some of her looking cute in the grass.



She is very curious about inanimate objects, but not so much with people and animals.




WHAAAAA???



We will be getting back on the road in about a week, to head back to the Boston area, via Portland, Seattle, Vancouver,the Black Hills in South Dakota, Chicago and whatever else crosses our path. We will post regularly when we are on the road again.
