Well this time it’s true! The Buenos Aires city government confirmed that we would now join most of the rest of the country and be able to go without masks outside — yayy!
Today was quite chilly, but bright and sunny. I went up to the feria, the artesanal fair, not because I wanted to go there but just for the pleasure of walking without a mask! It was interesting. It looks as if some people hadn’t heard the news as there were a lot of people still wearing them. Others were apparently still a little apprehensive, or maybe just so used to masks that they kept them on — I saw several couples, one with and one without!
Anyway, I enjoyed the feeling of freedom very much — I hope it was a taste of things to come!
I went to our local TreeFest in Long Branch here and all had masks on even though it was outdoors. Mask mandate until Jan. 2022! Oh well, better safe than sorry. I’m getting used to it.
I went for my morning walk maskless today for the first time, and I have to say it felt a bit weird. But nonetheless great!
