I had the loveliest time in Paris, exploring the different museums and tourist sites. Doing yoga in front of the Eiffel Tower. Wandering the catacombs and the Pere Lachaise cemetery. The light and dark aspects of the city, and life, but all things beautiful. Delicious food and wine. Pain au Chocolat and eclairs. La Galarie Dior. Champagne at the foot of Sacre Coeur. By foot and on metro, covering kilometer after kilometer each day, then getting up each morning to head out again. Basking in the sun, and soaking up the raindrops.

Can you see it? There seems to be a light at the end of the pandemic tunnel and new opportunities lie ahead. There is a mix of excitement and anxiety in the air. Some of us might be getting back to the office soon, or taking a trip to see family and friends that we’ve been missing. Others might need some extra time to feel comfortable socializing in large groups again, after all, we’ve been mostly staying within our personal bubbles for over a year. Masked or unmasked (and vaccinated), choose the option that makes you feel the most comfortable.
