We\u2019re spending two nights here. One thing I noticed: it\u2019s significantly colder here. While we were in lecture, I could see snow falling outside our window. As a Floridian, that\u2019s exciting! Not as exciting when our heater is sub-par though. Tomorrow, if the weather is good (which as of right now it\u2019s looking like it), we will walk on Fox Glacier. We hear a lecture from the owner and go on a guided walk. I\u2019ve walked on Mt. Rainer (in Washington) before, but it was summertime and I thought it was rather warm. This will be different especially considering it\u2019s winter here. I have at least 6 or 7 top layers laid out for tomorrow morning. We\u2019re also hiking around Lake Matheson in the morning to see the sunrise.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/hilaryintransition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/DSCN1312_1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-804\" title=\"DSCN1312_1\" src=\"http:\/\/hilaryintransition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/DSCN1312_1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"590\" height=\"442\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I think I forgot to mention last night that we went to the glow worm dell last night after dark.
