The Enchanting Kingdom of Animals Unusual Acquaintances

|Jul-Aug 2024
A part from eating unusual food when one travels the world, what is interesting is meeting people with varied cultures and traditions.

As well as, learning about the animals of that land. Perhaps getting a chance to get acquainted with them, too.
Like I had the good fortune of actually having a conversation with a llama in Argentina, quite accidentally. It is only if you are in South America (though they have been introduced to regions outside, such as Australia and New Zealand) that you would actually get to meet a llama. Llama, that rather strange looking animal, the one, one wonders if it belongs to the sheep family or camel.
As it happened I was in Cafayate, a tiny sleepy town, having travelled through Las Conchas, an out-of-this-world, rugged, rocky, terrain, where you might expect to see Clint Eastwood riding out in front of you, whistling the famous tune from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly!
