A to Z Challenge: My theme this year is NYC before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

WALKING: I don’t miss having to drive. For us, one of the best things about city life, is walking everywhere. The vast majority of our vacations over the last 10-15 years, involve being able to walk everywhere: Vancouver, Seattle, Toronto . . . my son and I logged about 15-18 miles one day in San Francisco (our feet paid for it, but I remember the sights, the company, and the food more than the blisters). We’re not walking as much these days, but we do try to get out once a week or so for a long stroll, mostly to Green-wood Cemetery to enjoy the quiet and the gorgeous foliage. The following are four very short snippets of some journeys (two pre-pandemic and two from just recently).

WAITING & WONDERING: Need I say more?
