so then we were on to an alpaca farm!
(mind you, this is all in one day!)

so now i also want an alpaca!
they hum to their babies!
its so soothing, we were in the "maternity ward",
and it was just full of hums.

and their fur is as soft as cashmere,
and not itchy at all like wool.
there was a fabulous red beanie i wanted...
but perhaps i could get some alpaca yarn and a certain friend of mine could make me a hat from it...heehee!

it was fun.
when we left, my aunt and I discussed the humor in the fact that we were enjoying all these simple, kinda cheesy, touristy things.
but we were! so much!

we met so many awesome people.
and heard their stories, and how they are making it with a small family run business.
it's very inspiring.
and comforting.
there are people who are still just people.
living life.
happy with what they have.
