Alpacas are not the same as llamas

My friend Andra and I went to Columbia Mist Alpaca Farm today. It was so interesting to see these really strange, alien-like creatures. They really made me laugh (thankfully I did not get spit at for my laughter)!

::the men::

::they were mostly interested in eating, but occassionally sniffed my hand::

::the smallest baby::

I also really liked the farm dogs and kept thinking about corgis and what an odd place it would be to have a corgi herding alpacas.

::one of the sweet working dogs::

I got three skeins of yarn and they are the most beautiful brown colors. I really love the undyed skeins and they are really hard to find.

::it was great to see the shorn fleece and know that this will become some wonderful yarn::
