Alpaca Farm

I have always been in love with alpaca, it is the softest thing in the world.  Well, not the animal but their  fur or wool or whatever.  I have wanted an alpaca rug forever, and i finally got one but its a very small one, more like a door mat size because they are very expensive.  We visited this alpaca farm and they of course have a store.  Yippee for me.

Pictures

I have been dying to share pictures because we saw so many amazing things.  We bought a small internet package on the ship but they block gmail and blogspot I am sure because people transmit too much data.  We are at the hotel now.  So I am hoping this will work.  I think if you click on them the pictures will enlarge so you can see them better.

New Blog title

So, I was going to use Facebook but Sunnie pointed out that the possibility exists that someone could figure out I was gone for a long time and do something to the house.  Although its highly unlikely I like this better.  So we decided to call the blog Tolie Travels but the first blog address was  tolietravels.blogspot.com and I decided I better put a hyphen in there.  So you should know this since you are here but the new blog is

tolie-travels.blogspot.com

I will try to post something everyday.

For today here is a picture of a parrot we saw today.
