Of course, dining out with neighbors and getting our nails done was off limits for awhile, as well as our neighborhood parties where we would cram 90 people into our clubhouse for dinner and dancing. But we're slowly having some small gatherings following our current guidelines. But we've continually been encouraged to go out for walks and enjoy nature.<br /><br />Wishing you blessings!

I enjoy so much reading while in the water that it really bums me out that I can't do it while floating in the pool or the ocean! <br /><br />Snorkeling is great! Especially in warm, translucid tropical waters. Here where it's a bit cooler and there are few interesting fish in surface waters, scuba is my favored option because it allows me to spend a whole hour underwater hanging out with the fish. I love it!!!<br /><br />Thanks for the visit! Yeah, I'm pretty much all over the place when it comes to topics and places (one of the reasons I set up a separate blog for travel). Comes with the international background and highly eclectic tastes!CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-4592850939650477642020-04-26T02:54:54.943+02:002020-04-26T02:54:54.943+02:00I've never read a book in the bath.

Makes us wonder why we're so special... the running theory is Spaniards are too much about finding a way to bend the rules, so if the rules were any less strict they'd be ineffectual. We'll see how it goes once they start letting the kids out an hour a day to play.<br /><br />Mountain lions?! Both awesome and scary!!! Best to keep away... Take care!CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-65278707300465419632020-04-22T22:35:52.674+02:002020-04-22T22:35:52.674+02:00Glad you're hanging in there Cris!

We sometimes in the quiet season, get mountain lions straying down here to my neighbourhood, so I have been expecting some of that while it's quieter out. Haven't seen any, but then I haven't been anywhere! I see Spain's one of the worst hit countries (2nd after the USA) so stay safe.

They're young and healthy so odds are they should have a mild case - I have 2 friends (doctors in hospitals) who have caught it and fortunately just had a few days of fever, aches and pains (they said it was NOT fun).<br />Yeah the work situation is creating a lot of imbalances... On the one hand I'm grateful that my job isn't at risk and I can continue working from home. On the other hand I have to put in a full day and get paid the same as others who aren't doing anything...

In normal times not that big a deal, but now - what if that accident leads you to a hospital ER? Where it will take forever for anyone to take care of you because they're swamped with Corona-related patients. Or worse, you end up having to spend a significant amount of time in hospital with your daily chances of catching the virus increasing. :(<br /><br />Plus unfortunately too many people have shown they can't be bother to follow basic social distancing rules, so there's no reason to believe they would if the restrictions were lifted even a little. :(CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-86126162947207761412020-03-23T15:42:15.697+01:002020-03-23T15:42:15.697+01:00It's definitely scary...
