My grandma, maternal aunt, and cousin arrived. She is 16 years old and bubbling with energy
. This is her first time visiting Puri, so it's understandable.
I am stoic, however boring I might sound. I have been to Puri so many times that I have lost count. It seems to be my second home.
Our main attraction is the Puri Jagannath Temple.
Hoping to find peace and bliss in the chaos of life. That is my lookout for this trip

I hope you have a good visit with your relatives and find what you're looking for at the temple.
It is just cold and rainy in my little part of the world. Pretty wants to go shopping this afternoon and we need to pay some bills and pick up some of her meds from the pharmacy while we're out.

@Dreamerby Thank you but we couldn't go shopping yesterday. My eyes swelled shut and are just now opening back up again.

@Dreamerby Be careful! Few people had fallen sick due to congestion.

I hope you have a good visit with your relatives. It's rainy here. At the middle of the week it will get cold and begin to snow. I hate this time of year. Have a good week.

You have great trip to Puri. Well, spending sometime in the temple could refresh up.Plus you are with family so thts definitely fun. I have been enjoying my little vacation although it is not exactly the vacation. The weather has become warm and hope it would not be a bad summer in 2025. There are few things to complete but will spill over to next year. I would have another busy schedule for next 8 months. Hopefully, I will plan well and then do things as needed. For now, can relax whenever possible and enjoy the time. Enjoy the vacation!
