I love how you end this, Nat! Brought a big smile to my face. Lovely photos, and they are so bright, with a heightened color ... perhaps all that sunshine that we forget about when we're stuck indoors. Very nice narrative, too, with the subtle acknowledgment of how COVID changed conversations.

Thanks so much, Marie. I forget just how bizarre a time it really was. Peaceful yet fraught with danger and the absolute unknown.

I just thought about the time when everything was shut down: Hotels, restaurants, shops… it feels like I just dreamed it or watched it in a movie a long time ago. So strange… wonderful little sequence and great writing as always!

Thanks so much, Susanne. It was so very dreamlike. We’ve learned to live with it but I remember that early fear.
