Can't tell what was original and what was replaced...the sign of a job well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cherries can be found in Israel for a short period of time, at a PRICE... A must visit to every market -- St. Lawrence Market (Toronto) Rialto Market (Venice) We grow our own blackberries and blueberries. Last summer did not produce as much as we like, hopefully this year will produce more. We also have a young cherry tree. Boy, the birds love to pick at all of these if we dont get our nets over them early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While there were plenty of covid restrictions, no masks needed at the beach, no hassles if you didn't wear one unless you were in the lobby or hallway. One interesting thing we learned about Cancun: They have the covid thing down pat. Temps taken at mall entry point, hand sanitizer mandatory. In the stores you even have to dip your feet onto a disinfected mat. We felt completely safe there. Had to covid test upon our return, both negative. My job required a quarantine so I just teleworked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnjen Posted January 29, 2021 #6705 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I meant to add that temp checks are mandatory at ALL entry points in Cancun. Not just La Isla shopping mall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We say to ourselves: "there is time, it will always be here"... We haven't been yet to Nazareth....

They had cherries for 4 CAD a kilo, and "pick your cherries" for another dollar. I hand picked every one of them, the biggest and the stone-hardest ones, "cherishing" (pun intended) every minute 😁😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're first post got me thinking about this summer. With our Alaska cruise as well as most likely our Baltic cruise on the chopping block this would be a perfect time to look into an extended road trip either out west or down east. Travel within Canada, especially driving should be fine for this summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travel within Canada, especially driving should be fine for this summer. Talking about road trips, eight years ago my DH cycled from Vancouver Island to Halifax carrying his camping tent and kit on the bike. He did it mostly alone but met up with various Canadian friends along the way, some of whom cycled part way with him. He had lots of interesting experiences during the trip, including an encounter with a bear in the Rockies!!

Ha ha, no, he stopped to take a photo but just then someone leaned on their car horn to get the bears attention, DH took off as fast as he could, not a lot of protection on a bike I thought he was crazy doing the trip, but when he decides to do something he usually follows through. He was in his mid 50s when he did it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
