Please, to all the tourists coming to Spain these days
We know that our airports are open and your presence is more than welcome, for our tourism industry specially. Yet please be aware that you're being granted a privilege that we Spaniards don't have, we still can't move from one province to another so no beach for us, no visiting family, no holiday travels to see our hometowns, nothing. All I'm asking is be responsible. I know you're in vacation but we're giving up a lot to keep the pandemic under control. Don't be stupid, don't throw massive illegal parties in Airbnbs, wear your mask properly, respect the curfew... Enjoy your time here but be as careful and respectful of the rules as you'd be in your country. Don't let them open every newscast with how careless tourists are being please because it makes the rest of us feel stupid. Enjoy your holidays and be safe

Rikki Olds was a vivacious, strong, and independent young woman who worked as a front-end manager at King Soopers grocery store. “She was so energetic and charismatic and she was a shining light in this dark world,” her uncle Bob Olds said. Olds was one of 10 victims gunned down at the grocery store in Boulder, Colorado. The first police officer to arrive on the scene, Eric Talley, was also among those killed, Boulder Police Chief Maris Herold said. The veteran officer is survived by his wife and seven children, his father Homer Talley told CNN affiliate KUSA. “He loved his family more than anything,” Homer Talley said. Officer Talley’s bravery was obvious on his last day of duty, his family said. “Didn’t surprise me he was the first one there,” his father said.
