Sunday - last day walking Venice.  Wish I would have worn my GPS to see where we actually walked.  Had lunch along a cute little canal near the old Jewish Ghetto.  Started journey back home in the pm.

Monday - traveled home.  Planes, trains, and automobiles.  Boats, kayaks, and gondolas.  Great vacation.

Tuesday - slept in.  Went for a 6 mile run.  Back to the bridge.  Found lots of raspberries but wasn't brave enough to try any.  Saw 2 little spotted fawns with their momma.  It was a tough run. 

Wednesday - short 3 mile run with MR before our small shipment of stuff arrived from our old house.  We ran to the middle school and back.  The hills are not getting easier.

Thursday - 4 mile run.  Went down a different trail - ended up being super steep downhill to a river, then a dead end.  I got to turn around and haul back up the hill.  Then I took another trail that ended up being really nice, but also just 1/2 a  mile long.  Finding new places to explore.

Friday - 5 miles.  Went a different direction through the neighborhood near our place.  Found an old cemetery, lots of town houses, a couple of schools, and a bridge that goes over the 32 and took me to a little shopping area with donuts, burgers, tacos, and gas.  It was hot, so I went into McBurger to refill my water bottle.  Went a lot further than 5 but had to take a couple of walk breaks.

Saturday - Went hiking with MR and mini-me in Catocin National Park.  Hiked 5+ miles.  Not sure why but I had so much trouble with this hike.  I've hiked a different route at this park before without any problems.  Today was a really off day for me.  My family was waiting for me and I was holding everyone up.  I think it's a lack of gelato.

Exploring is always fun. Be careful out there. Maybe you are tired because you are still recovering from your vacation. gelato ... yummmmm!

That's a lot of exploring. My little Emily would love you. You're a mix of Dora and Jake of the Neverland Pirates.

Burt - I'm Dork the Exploring Pirate. But seriously, Emily is so darn cute that I'll take her with me anytime. She can distract the others and steal their hearts while I steal their booty.
