It is the first time we come back to nyc since our last visit on March 2020… When we visited then I was the only soul wearing a mask in Nyc… now a lot of people use it. We are happy to be able to go out and enjoy a trip like this. Our daughter is staying in NYC for a month, and sharing an apartment w 3 girls… one came back yesterday from a trip to Miami and very soon she reported she tested positive… so mi daughter went to get tested, thank god she is negative and she began using a mask as if it was a part of her body, she wears it constantly. Mi brother who lives in Colombia w his wife and 3 adult sons has lived trough a very difficult week… A. tested positive, he passed it to P., and finally M. got it… so 3 out of 5 relatives got infected…after months and months of confinement. Such a difficult time in Colombia simply because the vaccines are so slowly being offered to the general public. I regret I dis not invite the family to come over to get vaccinated.

Has the pandemic disrupted your plans for the future in any major way? If so, talk about the most significant disruption(s).
I ride roller coasters. I’m old, so I ride the front seat to minimize dizziness and G-forces. Some amusement parks are assigning seats to keep people spread apart. I can’t sit just anywhere. I started riding coasters at the age of 50. It took a lot of effort to face my fears and get to the level I’m at now. I have a long way to go before I am able to ride the taller, loopy coasters. I’m terrified that I will lose the ground I’ve gained. And I’m old. There’s a limit to the number of years ahead of me to do this. I’m stressed and anxious about losing something I love so much. My other love is music festivals and concerts. I like to stand as close as I can to the stage. That requires stamina that is also on the wane. If vaccines were required for entry into concerts, theme parks, etc., people would be more interested in getting them. Let’s do it!
