happy llama

*no video yet... well try later*

We saw this young llama among a flock of sheep happily bouncing about. This was in the mountains around cuzco. I thought you would like to see this.

Apparently llama is pronouced Jama in Spanish. It means something along the lines of fire breathing dragon as, like camels, Llamas spit, but unlike camels their spit burns!

Evelyn has stepped out while the video uploads, so I thought Id add a few words... Arequippa is gorgeous... the wide streets, proliferation of big beautiful, colonial buildings, great food (superb Felafel), and oodles of bookstores, make it the place for me! If I had to live in Peru, this would be where. Tommorow we head to the Colca canyon for a 3 day trek, after which we will take the red-eye bus to Nasca. In Nasca, we plan to spend a day and check out the Nasca lines... enormous geomantic designs writ large upon the land for hundreds of hundreds of miles. There are monkeys, condors and other creatures depicted, so large they can only be seen from the air... Its pretty exciting... Finally Ill be able to contact the mother ship and get off this rock... wait, did I say that out loud!? :)

Video is taking forever to upload... might have to cancel it for now and post later... :(

Lunch calls...
