The Hills Are Alive...

Today was filled with awe inspiring beauty. The mountains, light, wind and rain created an amazing tableau. It was wonderful to be back in green scenery after the browns of the meseta. We pulled our rain gear on an off as the weather went from windy to sunny to rainy to warm to rainy and windy together. We stopped for a snack break by a watering trough for the local cows and just soaked in the verdant hills and fresh air. Later we had a knee wrecking downhill trek. I'm sure it was only prayers that kept me from twisting an ankle. It also decided to pour and get windy. I was very relieved that our town for the night appeared when it did. The views were amazing though and when it stopped raining I was memorized by the light on the mountains and the valley ahead.
