Hang in there my friend. A lot of us feel similarly and are experiencing this oppression in many different ways.

And while the lockdowns in US are not enforced as extreme as they are in Mexico (although some cities are pretty bad) the mass paranoia and overall chaos is felt everywhere.

I am happy you are finding some sort of solace in this turbulent time. Keep your head up and trek on.. and of course, enjoy the majesty which is the Pacific!
