Another year gone by in the blink of an eye and I’m back with the Top 5 Posts of 2020.
With the pandemic and the lockdown it wasn’t the best year to begin with. But as I look back I can think of a few unusual experiences that I surprisingly enjoyed.
For instance, spending an entire summer vacation locked up at home with nowhere to go and nothing to do. Sounds horrible, but we fell into a routine of waking up late, working lazily through the day, and ending every evening with ‘movie night’ on Netflix… and ended up loving this odd vacation spent entirely in each others company.
