Legendary Ed always said you need something to look forward to. My main thing that I look forward to is travel. When the pandemic started, I got it in my head that it would last six weeks. As it stretched into two years, I wondered when, or if, I would ever travel again, and I got super depressed about the thought of it being over.\n
Today was a day of new experiences. We took local transit in Queretaro. We at in a completely off-the-grid \"restaurant\" which is a word-of-mouth local treat, invited by the maintenance man at our AirBnB. We sat on the roof of our AirBnB, enjoying the sunset, and the flocks of small black birds that zip past every evening. And I am grateful. So grateful. I'm grateful to be from a time, and a place, where women have been afforded the opportunity to set the course of their own lives. To make a decent enough living to buy myself these experiences. To have the health that I enjoy for making the most of these experiences. To be able to travel. To have chosen a vocation that allows me to work remotely. To share it all with this wonderful companion... my Brent. Thank you, Universe. I am having a serious Joe Banks (the Tom Hanks Joe Banks) moment.

We can see this statue from the roof of our AirBnb, way off in the distance. Today, we took the bus to the main bus terminal, and when we came back, it took us right past this, so we got off and walked up to have a closer look.
