Street Chess

Mar 6, 2021 Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

In a few days it will be the 1st anniversary of the Covid 2019 quarantine: 2020 was a difficult year for everyone. We will remember it as the year we realized how important personal contact with our loved ones is. Technology, in some way, has given us the illusion of having the world at our fingertips. However, nothing can replace the laughter shared by a mischief, a coffee with our close friends or a strong hug in the best Venezuelan style.

We get used to seeing few people on the streets and avoiding congested spaces. Scenes that were very common before, now surprise us, like this one from the street chess game.

I don't know about you, but I felt it as a promise of life: No matter how long the storm takes, we will be fine.
