Nyt's Strands game with theme "Hue are my sunshine" and colors of the pride flag as hidden words. "Chasing rainbows" is today's spangram

Today we visited Ohrid, part of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites 🏖️😎
Fun fact: there used to be 365 churches in Ohrid, one for every day of the year ⛪

@vgeshkovski.bsky.social and I had not anticipated taking six hours to cover 170 km by train, but I must say the view was breathtaking 🇲🇰🌞⛰️

I was today years old when I found out that you can store seeds in liquid nitrogen for two years and they will still germinate. Yet another reason why plants are so cool! 🌱 Thank you @vgeshkovski.bsky.social for indulging in my weird science questions
