Atacama Desert

" He stepped off the bus. As his foot sank into the soft blanket of snow, a sharp blast of cold airshot past the cuffs of his trousers."

What irony to read "Snow" by Orhan Pamuk in the Atacama Desert, driest place on the planet. These words are perhaps something like enjoying a cooling mint while sitting quietly in Hell.
