THE VILLAGE PERSPECTIVE

Annapolis has picked up many nicknames since its founding in 1649. “Athens of America” honors the city’s promotion of the arts, learning, and democracy. “Crabtown” and “America’s Sailing Capital” celebrate all the joys of the sea. No one really knows why it earned the “Naptown” moniker, but who doesn’t love a daytime snooze? All insider endearments aside, Annapolis is a great choice for a full and exciting life in retirement, thanks to its abundant cultural offerings, relatively mild weather, and nearby water-centric activities. The short distance to both Washington, D.C. and Baltimore is an added bonus.

The past year has reminded us about the simple joys. Many of us found enjoyment in daily walks and mourned the loss of face-to-face conversations. We relearned the importance of everyday actions, like washing our hands and monitoring our day-to-day health. Now, that summer is here and restrictions have eased, we are all looking forward to spending more time outdoors. With warmer weather, it’s time to be smart about our days in the sun.
