Austin oasis

I spent an afternoon with Pickle, wandering the fitness trail that runs along Lake Austin. Sporting opportunities abound, and the path gives a great sense of the city's toned and tan flavor.

...and a beer to finish it off.

Another day, another beach

Today: Pacific Beach, San Diego. It is vibrant and athletic with runners, surfers, and sunrise meditators. It is also dog friendly before 9 a.m. and then in the evening. These early morning Pickle-walk pictures speak for themselves.

p.s. Today I begin the drive east - Tuscan by tonight!
