Trying to stay warm
as we started to descend down the mountain at the end of the day, i snapped this right to capture my utter coldness (Southern girl + snow and cold = a pitiful, pitiful sight!). On our lookout for cars to hitch rides down the mountain with, we met a hiker who told us to forget it, that no one was going anywhere in this snow. The look you see is one of excited adventure! Stranded!

DianaStarting off on a day trip to La Parva, a mountain about 45 minutes outside Santiago, Joel and I hitchhiked up to a famous ski resort with plans to meet some friends and, instead of spending money on skiing, just breathe in the mountains, yodel, roll down some hills, and build snow forts. Thanks to some unforseen snow invasion, all five of us (Joel, myself, and three other friends--Andrew, Mario, and Joe) were forced to hobble in the blowing snow up to the nearest hostel and beg for lodging for the night. It was, by far, the most beautiful Stranding I've ever experienced!
