Island Dog, Day 2

It's day two at Nantucket, and my caretaker, Addison, has taken me with his family to breakfast at the Even Keel.
At the Whaling Museum we saw a bull sperm whale skeleton that was the same size as the harpoon ships. Yeesh, that whale had a face only a mother could love!

The highlight of yesterday was dinner at The Brotherhood of Thieves. Dinner was quite satisfying, especially the cole slaw I got to have.

Adventure Dog Arrives in Nantucket

Addison's mom thought I should start by explaining that I am staying in Nantucket, Massachusetts. For anyone who hasn't been there, Nantucket is an island off the coast of Cape Cod. We're east of Martha's Vineyard, about thirty miles into the Atlantic Ocean. It took us three hours by car to get to the ferry, an hour to get breakfast and check-in, and a ferry ride which would take another two hours to reach Nantucket. We arrived at 11:00 AM. If it took us six to get here, can you figure out what time we left? I'll give you a hint, it was really early!


I'm on our ferry, the Great Point. It's a little rocky and I'm feeling a little seasick, but just look at the water!

Spots, one of my travelling companions also felt a little green around the gills so we decided to lay down while the waves were really choppy.

Addison's mom thought this would be a fun place for a photo. "Wait a minute, Mrs. Schwing, I'm not so fond of heights!"

What a relief to be back on solid land! Now we just need to find our taxi so we can get to the house.


After a quick trip to drop off our luggage and bookbags (because Addison has been working on homework on the ferry), we drove out to Something Natural for lunch. Yummmm! Everything on the menu looks delicious!


We have a Jeep at the house and I couldn't wait to take it out on the beach. There's even a little basket on the front that would be perfect for me to ride in! Sadly, Addison's parents decided I needed to ride in the car.


We all got inside the Jeep and drove up to Wauwimet to let air out of the tires. If you drive on the beach, too much air pressure in your tires can cause you to get stuck. And then we were off! We drove all the way up the beach to the tip of Great Point near the lighthouse to go fishing and have a picnic. If you look that the map, we are almost at the Northeastern Tip of Nantucket by the compass rose.


It's nice and open at this part of the Island and we saw lots of seals swimming off the shore trying to grab fishermen's catches. One man next to use lost a bluefish to a seal while we were having our picnic. We had a nice night on the beach until Scraps and I saw this sign. Oops!


We went back into Nantucket for some ice cream before heading back to the house. Everyone kept saying we had to get ice cream from The Juice Bar because they had the best ice cream on the Island. I was a bit confused why it was called The Juice Bar and not The Ice Cream Bar, but I got to help scoop the ice cream (which was delicious!) and decided not to ask any questions.

Thursday looks to be even busier than Wednesday so I can't wait to share some more of my adventures on Nantucket.

Adventure Dog observes local dress in Dubai

I have met a local couple that let me have a closer look at their outfits. The man in white is wearing a Kandura. During the winter months United Arab Emirates (UAE) males can wear a whole realm of different colors such as brown or grey. The black rope on his head fixes the headscarf in place. In the old days I was told that it was used to hold the camels legs together so they would not wonder away from their owners. The woman in black is wearing an Abaya.

Boy I am really getting around Dubai. My new friend, Varun (pronounced Wa-run), is showing me Budha (also spelled Buddha). Varun is from Gurdaspur Punjab, India near Amritsar (look up the Golden Temple). He has just completed his MBA here in Dubai and is heading home to India.



Here are my good friends heading out for a night on the town! Don't they look great? Neera is wearing a beautiful sari. The sari is popular in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Burma and Malaysia. Off to Australia tomorrow!!

Wait a minute Aron-- I am afraid of heights. Yes I see that we have arrived in Perth, Australia! Aron just came from England to play on the Western Australia Cricket Team. Cricket is a team sport for two teams of eleven players each. A formal game of cricket can last anywhere from a whole afternoon to several days. Although the game play and rules are very different, the basic concept of cricket is similar to that of baseball.


Perth, Australia's city skyline is so beautiful at night! We are at Kings Park Botanic Gardens. See how big the moon is!


Chris let me sit on his shoulder so I could have a better look at Perth's skyline! Next we are heading to Fremantle to meet Mrs. L's sister, Amy.

Adventure Dog travels to the modern Arab land of Dubai

I had a big warm welcome kiss by Emirate Flight Attendant, Nuala (New-la)! This looks like a fun place.



Wow a sign welcoming me to Dubai. I think it is a friendly place.




Hey let me introduce you to my friend, Mrs. L. She and I have become real travelling buddies.



A sunny and hot day (100 F) at the Dubai Marina. Can't wait to hit the beach!




Chill'en on the beach..... Not really. At 37 degrees C I have my doggie SPF on. Won't stay here too long but before I go I need to take a dip in the Gulf!




Met a few friends of mine walking the beach. They seem to be pretty big and not saying much....



I am off for a local cultural trip to learn about Dubai and the Arab lifestyle

Yummy, yummy- so much to eat. Think I will have the fish first!
