3. Masks
We’re ordering some pasta when the man behind the counter tells us we don’t need to wear masks anymore. If you don’t want to, he tells us.
Has that happened already, we ask. This is the summer of 2021. There’s talk of the restrictions being relaxed but no official announcement.
We Dutch have a saying, he tells us. If it’s in discussion, then it’s happened.
Oh, we say.
We leave our masks on.
