Winter is the best weather in Bermuda, as far as I’m concerned.
It rains. It’s windy. But little humidity. Not much heat. Few insects. Ideal for running.

Farewell Bermuda
I’m now back in Canada.
Same day Trudeau announced Canada is shutting the border to non-Canadian citizens, with limited exceptions, to limit the spread of COVID-19.
My flight Bermuda to Toronto was quite normal. I was asked to self-quarantine for 14 days when I get to my final destination. Just in case. No testing on arrival.
Air Canada postponed my ongoing flights by a day claiming Government travel advisory. No compensation.
Sounds bogus to me.
But by luck we managed to complete the annual Bermuda Gymnastics competition on Sunday — before schools closed Tuesday.
The Gymnastics Club has now shut down, as well, for 2 weeks out of an abundance of caution.
There are still no confirmed cases of coronavirus in Bermuda.
cycling Europe on the EuroVello 6
I’ve added this to my bucket list.
EuroVelo 6 (EV6), named the “Rivers Route”, is a long-distance cycling route that runs along 3,653 km (2,270 mi) some of Europe’s major rivers, including much of the Loire, some of the Saône, a short section of the upper Rhine and almost the entire length of Europe’s second longest river, the Danube — from the Atlantic coast of France to the city of Constanța on the Black Sea.
The EV6 traverses ten countries …

Green Turtles at the Bermuda Aquarium
The Bermuda Platform is an atoll.
Our geographically isolated location, limited size, and the fact that sea turtles are completely protected make Bermuda an ideal site for study of the “developmental habitat” phase of sea turtle life history.
I often wait for the bus while watching 5 giant Green Turtles on display outside the front of the aquarium in Flatts.

Running in Bermuda
Most days in Bermuda I run about an hour.
It’s easy to get motivated with this kind of climate and scenery.

Visit Bolivia
One place I’d really like to visit again is Bolivia.
Sadly, the political situation is again a big mess.
President Evo Morales fled the country after trying to steal an election. The caretaker President Jeanine Anez has turned out to be a problem.
