Heading to the Riverwoods on Friday after class, I expected it to be the same usual trip where I spent money I didn't have and bought things I didn't need. And yes, this did still happen BUT a little surprise distracted me before my mind filled with regret at what I had just bought. My roommate and I stopped in Bath and Body Works to visit a friend who was working there and as we stood there talking, my eyes quickly glanced out the glass doors and rested upon what I thought was a llama. A LLAMA! I had never seen one in real life before then. Suddenly, I found myself getting a little too excited; I may have even jumped up and down at first. I know, a little immature...I couldn't stand there talking for much longer when all I wanted to do was pet the llama. A couple minutes later, I was timidly walking up to the animals. I saw the sign next to them, saying they were actually alpackas, not llamas. Good thing I knew before I started talking to the owners, that could have been embarrassing. I quickly made 2 new friends in Rocky and Max. We bonded quickly. I ran my hands through their incredibly soft wool? fur? outer layer? (whatever it's called) and I fell in love. I wanted so badly to take them home with me. They would make great pets but my roommate disagreed...At least she let me give them a hug and was kind enough to document this momentous occassion :) By far, this was my favorite trip to the Riverwoods. I mean how many people can say they've pet an alpacka?
