It’s the end of 2024 which means my Goodreads “Year in Books” is here!
It’s been a while since I’ve shared what my Kindle has been up to!
2024 was a pretty awesome year. No major changes or big BIG life events — Ryan and I spent the year in our same Flagstaff apartment, working our same jobs, doing many of the same things we did in 2023 — but there were a few minor notable things that happened this year.
Merry Christmas!
Fall was full of days that were really long, but the entire season itself was very short.
And, this is a very short post!
We’re home for the holidays!
Ryan and I returned from India last weekend and went straight into Christmas mode.
Who flies to the other side of the planet and comes within an hour of seeing the Taj Mahal, and doesn’t see the Taj Mahal?
Nobody. Especially not me.
Namaste! I’m back with another post to talk about the second-to-last destination we visited during our recent trip to India: Jaipur.
When I asked Ryan if there was anywhere he wanted to check out during our India trip, he didn’t hesitate at all to request a few days in Puducherry (Pondicherry).
*A quick note: The town is now formally called Puducherry, but is still widely known as Pondicherry and is known to locals as “Pondy,” so I’ll refer to it as all three interchangeably in the following post.
After we wrapped up our time in Anjuna, Goa, Ryan and I caught a flight to Chennai, and then took a taxi ride to Pondicherry.
So… if you haven’t been following along, I just wrapped up four incredible weeks at my 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) program in Rishikesh, India.
It was a wonderful experience, but it was intense! It was basically non-stop 16-hour days of learning, which my middle-aged brain hasn’t really had to do in quite some time.
Which led me to a beach. In Goa.
But only after the worst airport layover experience I have ever had in my entire life.
