Monument Avenue

This weekend team members went to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts {VMFA} to take in the Treasures of Ancient Egypt: Sunken Cites exhibit before it leaving in January 2021. While on the way to the gallery they drove thru Richmond’s Monument Avenue, where statues have been removed as part of the ongoing protest against police brutality and racism.

Polls in summer of 2020 estimated that 15 to 26 million people had participated at some point in the demonstrations, making the Black Lives Matter protest the largest in US history.

NOVEMBER 10, 2020

Memory photos from London, Beijing, and Istanbul

Today marks the 8th anniversary of my blog and I consider November 10th to be one of my favorite days of the year. This blog encapsulates everything I love, and lately memories have been popping up on my phone from a trip to Cabos San Lucas summer before last.

It was a time of absolute luxury, and when viewing these photos it’s incredible to see how far removed we are from dealing with a pandemic. But, am thrilled to see on the news this evening that a possible vaccine may be forthcoming with a 90% efficacy rate to control this virus!!!

When I started this blog there were so many of you who were helpful and guiding to a new member at WordPress. It always helps to keep perspective on how things have changed over the years so; here are a few “memory photos” of travels for Stylish Heath over the years!!!!

Thank you for your support – I’m so appreciative of the community this space has created!!!
