pandemic adventures day 2

Today was a full day.
Morning:
NOT coffee at Starbucks with Kate. 
It was HOT so I got a BLENDED version of my favorite drink-- Bonus points if you know what it is-comment below.
I was in Wayzata again and was AGAIN not surprised that no one except me, Kate and the baristas had a mask on. No one else. It was so disappointed to see the elitist culture of the place I grew up. But as I said having spent the better part of my life there- not surprised.

Early Afternoon-
Photos at the Stone Arch Bridge with Natalie.  Normally at this time of summer on this nice of a day there would be hundreds of people on the bridge and it's surrounding parks. I was eerie how few people we saw, how much the place was ours. Which made it perfect for our purposes- trying out a new camera.  Natalie said she needed a willing subject and I am more than happily obliged. 3.5 miles 1.5 hours lots of laughter and dozens of photos later we parted ways for the day.

Dinner:
Finally a place that is taking masking and distancing seriously.
All the tables are a good 10-12 feet apart. I felt very comfortable being here. We had MORE than enough room at our picnic table and everyone was comfortable.  I had a Mango Supreme.  I love sour beers but they have been difficult with my stomach issues lately and this was perfect. I enjoyed it with a Darkness Brat which was yummy and more than I could eat. No one forced us out but we were respectful of the 2 hour reservation time slots I know most places are providing these days.  *Surly has removed all of the lawn games in order to make room for more seating, you can still bring your animals for outside eating.

End of day:
I am out of spoons. If you have no idea what I mean by spoons please watch THIS!
My feet hurt from the 3.5 miles Natalie and I did at stone arch in bad shoes, my thighs are twitching and I am full an happy and sleepy.  I made myself a cup of tea talk to J and now that this is done am now off to bed.
Will check in again tomorrow
signing off for now
