river and is quite a curiosity. Maybe there is a picture of it in some geography at home. It not, when I come home I will show you a good photograph of it that I bought.
In the morning I hired a horse and rode about 3 miles to a place where I could see the highest mountain in South America. Mt. Aconcagua. It is more than a mile higher than Pikes Peak in Colorado. When I rode out on horseback I was only about 12 miles from Chile but hadn't time to go any further because the stage started back to the railroad at a little past 9 o'clock and I had to get back in time to go with it so as to catch the train for Mendoza.
The Andes mountains are much higher than the Rocky mountains, but they are almost bare of grass and trees and are not so nice to look at. But they are much higher and are full of snow high up near their tops. I will tell you more about them when I come home. Maybe some time you can see them yourself. Who knows. A kiss to Psyche & one to baby Alice too.
Good bye till I see you
Your Papa.
Lawrence Bruner.
