I've always loved these animals, and a dear friend has a small herd at her farm. <br /><br />Congrats on your participation in Mary Lee's global challenge - really love the repeating final line of these stanzas.

I haven't checked the facts, but someone told me recently that Macchu Picchu would soon be closed to tourists. Then the alpacas will finally have it to themselves.
