    2020 has been a wash. It’s time that we will never get back, but we have no other choice and must move on. It’s a pretty different time to live in. A pandemic came with no set cure, people got quarantined in their homes, travel was non-existent for a few months…. Yeah, it was a really interesting year. Here’s a look back at our 2020: how we coped with the pandemic, what we did when we couldn’t travel, and other achievements.
