Pata de Perro...the beginning

I am not going to begin by trying to detail my life story, simply by explaining the basis for the title of this blog. Pata de Perro (dog foot) is the way my mother refers to me when she hears the words, "I'll be back..." this is many times followed by "Sunday night; next week; or in some cases in a couple of weeks". I'll admit it I like to run around. I enjoy being on the road whether it is driving, flying or simply walking. I remember sitting in the bus station at 15 waiting for a bus to the bay area. I got a couple of odd stares from passersby on occasions. I was even asked once if I was a runaway. "No" I said, "I am going to see my aunt". And easy as that I hopped on the bus and headed out of town. Few times was I afraid of getting lost. In fact, I have on occasion wandered into areas I've never been to and gotten lost only to see if I can find my way back or simply to keep a mental tab of where those streets lead. I'd like to think that somewhere in the back of my mind I have many places mapped out just in case I ever need them. So when Bill proposed that I join him on the Carrera Panamericana in 2004 as his navigator, I couldn't say no. Now in a couple of weeks, we will be participating in our 2nd Carrera and my stomach is already turning.
