Another Arequipa Wedding Guest
Cute llama pix are a needed tonic to the barrage of awfulness in today’s world.
A self-professed llama freak, from Eugene, Oregon, has asked for more camelids on this site.
Of course, I oblige.

I am an American writer who lived in Lima for seven years (2007-2014), where I covered Andean traditions, melting glaciers and daily life in the capital for Miami Herald, MSNBC and Huffington Post. I now live and work in northern Florida where I champion climate change advocacy and compassionate, affordable eldercare.

It’s so fuzzy! I want one! All we have in Oregon is deer. (Although some farmers use “guard llamas.”)
Thanks, Barbara!

Mmmm. They do look cuddly, don’t they? When you get close to one, though, there are usually bits of straw and alpaca stuck all over its fur. Kind of prickly.
I’ll ask around the corral and see if any adventurous llamas want to go visit the Reillys in Oregon. I know they’ll have fun with you guys. 🙂
