Today is Thursday, the 19th of March, 2020 and this is the second post of the day.

The above picture was taken during our winter travels to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico and Vilamoura, Portugal. In which of the two places was it taken?

If you look at the green grass and the full foliage of one of the trees in the background, you'll likely realize that this cannot be San Miguel de Allende which is semi-arrid and at high altitude. However, the large agaves, in Portugal, are somewhat misleading. With changing climate and disrupted economic situation, perhaps Portugal might consider producing tequila.

Speaking of spirits, we've heard that Dillon's, a small batch distiller in Beamsville, Ontario, not far from Hamilton, has shifted their production from gin to alcohol-based sanitizer in light of the current covid-19 outbreak. This is kind of community response that needs to be lauded and that's uplifting our spirits!  [Spirits... get it?... Groan!...]
