We're "back"

Even though we didn't miss any Echo printings, we are now out of quarantine and back with a fresh edition.

We have photos inside from our report on Budapest from 2 weeks ago. Next week will be a report and photos on Istanbul.

The whole world is still dealing with COVID 19 . I want to thank those essential services bravely serving the public. It is vital that we protect these folks with every precaution, our grocers , medical staff, etc.

Everyone will be so sick of hearing about what precautions you should take, but it's necessary until it becomes second nature.

Instead of repeating myself and droning, I'll just post this from the Saskatchewan.ca website:
