Travel Tuesday: The Block

For the past two weeks, the main travelling I've been doing is around our neighborhood.

It's amazing how, when you've got a dog, suddenly you spend a lot of time just walking around the block. We go for a walk every morning at about 8am before work, and about every other day we do the walk again at about 5:45pm (on other days Christopher beats me home and takes her out). And, depending on the amount of time we've got, it could be just one side of the block, all the way around the block, or the very exciting walk around a different block.

We've said hello to a bunch of neighbors. We've almost met some of the little kids on the block. And we've gotten barked at by a lot of neighborhood dogs. It's kind of amazing how many dogs are in the neighborhood, actually. There's a bunch of them we never see out walking, but we hear while we're passing their houses.

And while I'm not exactly looking forward to dealing with the walks this winter, I have to say that we've been having a very nice time this September. I guess, some times, travelling close to home is all you really need.
