Laguna Paron is arguably one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. It lies deep within the Peruvian Andes mountains. I was fortunate to take a day hike to this lake when I was younger, and the grey crisp mountains coupled with the turquoise blue waters is a vista that will be
forever embedded in my memory. I hope to someday bring my family on this hike so they too can feel the majestic mountains and dip their toes in the water (it is far too cold for me to jump in!). This shawl reminds me of the crisp mountain air and the perfect contrast between the sharp mountain peaks and small waves lapping the shore.
