Alpacas of Gettysburg
Chico took me to a suri alpaca farm yesterday as a belated anniversary present. The farm is about 3 hours away in Gettysburg, but the drive wasn't bad... I knitted some of the way there & back.
The farm's name is Alpacas of Gettysburg, and the owners (Larry & Helen Hornbake) are wonderful & really nice. I learned all about their farm, got to feed the alpaca, and even "kissed" the alpacas who didn't mind kissing.
My Flickr photos are here if you're interested. And, if you're interested in visiting the farm or buying suri fleece for handspinning, contact the Hornbakes - they welcome visitors.
I had a great time.

It looked very neat. I'm surprised that you didn't try to take one home with you. :) Hope you had fun.
I did want to take them home with me. Since they're herd animals, you can't have just one, but two should be enough. Maybe one sire & one dam, and if they have babies... oops! ;)
Of course you can't have just one or two! They might fit in the backyard or garage. Glad you had fun!
