Day 27: Mountains Adorned with Snow

When I wrote yesterday evening, the weather outside was cold, foggy and rainy.  I couldn´t imagine waking up to a beautiful new day.  When I was just preparing to leave early this morning, the manager of the hostel exitedly called me to the window and exclaimed in Spanish, "Look at the snow!"  As it turns out, it had snowed in the night on the mountains towering majestically along the horizon!  During my walk this morning, I could see these mountains and they were so beautiful.  I walked for over two hours with this incredible scene around me.  See photos below:

 
Regarding my request for songs about rain, I was amazed at the number of songs that you all came up with.  I thought of a couple of these last night when I was going to sleep!  I have thought of others, but won´t bore you with them here. Thanks for your participation.  You are great sports!

I am so grateful to share that the rest of the day has been filled with a brilliant sun. It is still chilly, but the clouds have disappeared for now and I am basking in the brightness of the sun´s warmth and light.  I walked an additional 27 kilometers (17 miles) today and now have 150 miles to go!  Santiago is beckoning me (and coming home is too!).  I miss you, special friends and family!
