Friday is so different these days from what our "typical"
Fridays used to be. Back home it meant going to the
DownTowner Of course Covid changed that.
We moved to Puerto Rico to "escape" Covid, but
there is no escaping it. Covid is everywhere and surging
like crazy. Compared to being in Fort Lauderdale,
where we actually did nothing from mid March to
August, Puerto Rico is our little paradise.
Since coming to Puerto Rico we have been able to
eat out, walk around the beach, swim and have our Friday
outings. Now with the surge of cases, we have decided
we need to be a little more cautious. Compared to being
in Florida, we are still doing great, and can still do many
things we would not do back home in Florida.
I enjoy staying updated to what's happening around
the world, and the fact that Arvid is Norwegian I always
give him the latest news happening in Norway. Just for fun.
Most times he just looks at me and says, "I don't really care,"
😲 but I still do it because after all he is Norwegian even
though he is actually more Floridian than Norwegian.
Norway, home of our two little granddaughters and
family. So I think it's important that Arvid knows what's
going on in his homeland. Thank you google.
I was in Norway once for Christmas. It was white,
cold but beautiful. So much snow that year.
Christmas this year in Puerto Rico. The governor
of Puerto Rico had implemented tons of new restrictions.
Puerto Rico is now on partial lockdown. Again.
There are talks of a full lockdown as of January 1st,
only because if it were implemented now most would most
likely violate it. Due to the holidays. Welcome to the
world of Covid 19. The new norm as it is known.
Governor Wanda Vazquez is considering several
recommendations to control COVID-19, which
include closing common spaces in shopping centers,
using outdoor areas in restaurants, as well as guidelines
to reduce the time consumers spend in supermarkets,
pharmacies, and gas stations, among others.
The island of Puerto Rico is looking at another lockdown
if the numbers keep going up. All over the United States
measures are being taken to control COVID-19,
that is everywhere except the Sunshine State.
For now we feel safe and better being in Puerto Rico.
Christmas is the island is a party, but this year nothing will
be the same anywhere. But for now we are enjoying the little
freedoms we have in the middle of this terrible pandemic.
winding down. Before you know it, it's Christmas
day, and best of all my mom's birthday.
May you never be too grown up to
search the skies on Christmas Eve...
