Travelling virtually these days

Well, getting to interesting places has always been a hassle but more so now, of course. So it's just wonderful to view Brock House Monday morning travel series on Zoom. Before COVID they were in-house at 10:30 and I just enjoy reading my newspaper and drinking coffee. I'm sure I've posted about this series before but thought I would post the current schedule. 

I will be interested to see the one on Chile since my brother worked as a geologist there for a while.

Some photos of the Atacama Desert, Chile.
