16 November 2015 ~ Camelids

Listening to: Hurray For The Riff Raff ~ I Know It's Wrong (But That's Alright)

Next stop: Cuzco, Peru, Gateway to Machu Picchu.

Flying in over the Andes. The elevation was around 8000 feet when we landed. I could tell the difference in walking and breathing.

Our guide took us to a Camelid "ranch", where we learned about llamas and alpacas, cousins to camels.

Up close and personal.

These have a nickname of "Bob Marley".

 Already fleeced and perhaps made into a sweater.

Always good to make friends along the way.
