@nainaztengra, what a captivating adventure! Your determination to reach your "second home" despite the torrential downpour is truly inspiring. I especially loved how you painted a picture of the challenging city roads turning into a scenic mountain drive. The photos are absolutely stunning, perfectly capturing the misty atmosphere and the serenity of your destination. That final photo where you "cannot see anything" truly speaks volumes about the peace you found! It's fascinating to hear about the early rains and their impact on crops. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. I'm curious, what kind of "material" were you transporting to your destination?
