Plus safe reopenings and Shark Week [View this email in your browser]( Hello! Happy Monday! To remove the blues, let's get right down to the good stuff. We all have doubts about what's good to reopen, how much should be done and what shouldn't, etc. so the good news is that the World Travel and Tourism Council has chimed in on [how countries can safely reopen](. We seriously hope that [wine windows]( are part of its recommendations. For those planning on road tripping, how about going with a sustainable option, such as a [car-free Colorado road trip]( But if you prefer to stay at home, we also have you covered: [Shark Week is still cool]( even after all those years. And it's THIS week. Or you could just buy a [missile bunker in North Dakota](... But first... FOOD + DRINK [This map guides you to the top-rated breakfast spots in every state]( The pandemic has made being in public difficult, eating at restaurants strained, and taking most leisure trips dangerous or irresponsible. It’s also made things that were challenging long before COVID-19, like moving across the country, a nightmare. I experienced this firsthand when I drove cross country with my fiance, our two dogs, and a one bedroom apartment’s worth of belongings this summer. It’s possible, though difficult.

But what it lacks in remote wilderness, it makes up for in spectacular views of rocky coastlines and dramatic summits that appear to protrude directly from the depths of the Atlantic. Some of us should opt for a leisurely stroll around Jordan Pond followed by an afternoon cup of tea and popovers at the Jordan Pond House; others could sooner see themselves scaling the cliffside Precipice or Beehive trails, mastering hand-over-hand climbing up metal rungs, each securely fastened into the rock’s face. Regardless of your hiking skill or fitness level, the park’s 120 miles of trails offer something for everyone. BLACK TRAVEL [Things get TRIPPY IN ZAGREB, CROATIA!]( Travel is about sharing positive vibes. Here in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, we found them all over the place. Of course, it helped to learn a few local expressions, from bok — which sounds a lot like a chicken — to hvala or thank you. Our guide Martina, a fifth-generation Zagreb native, took us around to some of the best spots, including the Museum of Broken Relationships and the Museum of Illusions, as well as the best view of the city, where I got the shit scared out of me when the Grič cannon went off. As always, I acknowledged all the fellow black travelers I found here in this beautiful city. If you dream of seeing the world, don’t hold back. Get out there and make it happen!
