When I think of travel I always dream of those exotic faraway
places that sound so thrilling but sometimes I am surprised by the adventures I
can have in my own backyard.
Several years ago I saw an article on-line about a woman who
quit her corporate job and started an Alpaca farm. I was so intrigued by her story that I contacted
her and found out that she lived just an hour away from me. We communicated by phone and email for a
short while and then she invited me to come to the farm and meet her
family.
You would have thought I was going thousands of miles away
to a foreign land for how nervous and excited I was. The farm was gorgeous, out in the country
with beautiful rolling hills all around.
When I pulled up, several of the Alpacas came to the fence to greet
me. These animals are not like livestock;
instead they are more like pets. So
curious and gentle, they are really amazing creatures.
It was such a wonderful experience to spend time with this
lovely family and see them living their dream with these beautiful
animals. It reminded me that just like
life, travel is much more about the journey than the destination.
