The walk to Villa

Half way to Villa there is a tiny pueblito called San Jose. We stopped there and amazed the people with our white skin
When we got to Villa we were invited to a pretty special lunch. It is kind of like a pot luck and everything was made even more delicious because of the long walk that preceded it.
There were several different dishes all put together into a smorgasbord. Oh yes, I just used the word smorgasbord!
Click on this picture to see the one of worlds most valuable animal, the skittish vicuña.

okay, please explain why this is such a valuable animal. Does it breathe in ozone and exhale pure oxygen? What's the deal?

The vicuna is valued for it's incredibly fine wool. They are a part of the camelid family, so I guess it could be comprable to cashmir. I haven't ever touched it. It used to be reserved for the royal Incans, now it's for rich people.
