Beware the Ides of March.
This has always been a fun theme for my birthday. But in 2020, the Covid-19 virus arrived. People abandoned the streets, breweries, restaurants, museums, and coffee shops. Schools closed. Businesses died.
I was able to cross a few things off my travel lists:
- Finished up visiting all the breweries in St. Louis at Charleville.
- Went to the final of six National Parks in Missouri at the Ulysses Grant National Historic Site.
- Had coffee at the Mud House one final time, before it closed. I hope it reopens after the plague.
After cancelling a trip to Sonoma Wine Country, we did the best we could to make up for it in 24 hours. On March 16, 2020 – we were asked to stay inside. Social Distance. Flatten the Curve. We are homebound.
What does the Future hold?
Empty Cherokee Street
The National Parks were empty
White Haven abandoned
Magic Mountain eerily similar
The LAST coffee…
The Mud House closed after our visit
A final treat before quarantine
Fright, Fight or Flight?
Charleville empty
Social Distancing
Happy Birthday to Me
