Llama Lovers will enjoy this game. In fact, Unless you HATE llamas you will enjoy this game. And if you hate llamas there is something wrong with you.
Our family has had fun with this game. We are already llama enthusiasts and card game enthusiasts so we had to try Llama Drama.
Absolutely love this card game. This is our new favorite for family game night. The rules make it easy to pick up quickly and to introduce new players. Games typically last 5 - 15 minutes and include enough strategy and chance to be great fun. I took it along when we went out with a group of middle and high schoolers and they loved it as well. You can't go wrong buying this card game!
Our land...140 acres of weird marsh, creek, poplar forest, cat tails, swamp, and tall prairie grass. Look over there - I haven't even set foot on that part of it yet, and we've been here a year. And now there's an adult llama out there somewhere. How the hell am I supposed to find it?
This was supposed to be our 'livestock guardian.' A Western South American pack animal that's not at all afraid of central North American predators (coyotes and bears), who loves hanging out with small Scottish ruminants.
I passed the pigs. They were plunked down in a new spot for the night, tucked under some shrubbery and snoring. I'll admit I'd become emotionally attached to them. Somewhat. They are peaceful creatures (when kept well fed). They just want to eat and snuffle their noses through the dirt and look for more stuff to eat. They're fast and happy and seem nearly invulnerable for the amount of tumbling abuse they inflict on themselves daily.
It was dark enough now to see the first couple stars, and I cheesily wondered what it's like for them to be out here alone on a night like this. They kind of looked like they were camping out. Did they care that it was a beautiful, clear night? Does that matter so much when you'd be just as happy sleeping through a thunderstorm in a pit of your own piss? (That you dug with your nose?)
I don't know. I think we project our own feelings on these animals too much. Either way, I'm glad we gave them full run of the pasture up til now. Even if they did freak the shit out of the llamas. Commercial pigs get like 10 square feet to live in. We gave them 4 acres. Each day they wander about like wild boars, then pick a new spot to flop down for the night. That's got to count for something.
2. Neighbor boys shot it. (...with .22s? Is that even possible?). Dragged it across the field, then covered their tracks and tossed it clear over the wire, not damaging or disturbing a single blade of grass or leaving a drop of blood behind. Pretty impressive for 12 year olds.
So my alarm goes off and I'm out there at dawn. Dew on everything. Me plodding along again in rubber boots, cordless drill in hand. The grass decorated with a thousand glimmering funnel shaped spiderwebs.
The pigs were still asleep. I could see their grey sides heaving in the same spot I left them last night. The baby llama was out in the middle of the pasture, chewing grass. I got the gate done then walked out to talk to him.
Anna and her brother chase the baby llama around the pasture. They try to get it into the shelter but fail several times. Then they look up and see the mama llama just staring at them from the other side of the fence. She's back! So they hop the fence and try to herd her toward the gate. But then she see the pigs, makes a 'click-click-click' noise and bolts across the road. Anna sprints after her but looses her in the bush. Then our super awesome neighbour friend shows up with her van and they all pile in and the chase is on. They drive to the farm it was seen at that morning, pile out, and discover the llama sitting alone in a meadow like some beatific deity. But of course when they get close enough to grab it, it bolts again and they have to pick themselves out of the turf and run after it. However this time they manage to herd it toward our property. But as they get it to the gate our three happy pigs come tumbling out of the brush and click-click-click, she's gone again.
We kept their old enclosure, so after work Sterling and I banged together a temporary (and final, as they were due to get butchered in couple days) pig pit. After transferring the pigs we got in the truck and headed to that farm the llama kept returning to.
This was the first time I'd seen her and I was totally stunned. It was like I had no compartment in my brain to file this experience. Had I even seen a full grown llama before? I must have, but I couldn't say when. In a petting zoo? Now here's one sitting on the edge of the bush. And it's ours.
Even still...so weird and calm. Alien and beautiful. And that's our llama. How is that possible? How can anyone can just own a creature like this? She looked like the physical embodiment of compassion.
I wonder what these creatures think of us, I really do. What are we to them? We must seem like fumbling, relentless, omnipotent beings which pour out a never ending supply of food. What would the equivalent be for us? Imagine if one day on your way to work you came across a glowing rift in space that just gushed snacks and shelter and pillows and television. 85% of our population would probably just park themselves in front of it and call it a day. The other 15% would have to be tracked down.
I was lost in thought. It was a good thing Sterling was there. He's a magician. (An actual magician). Once we got the llama into the barn he utilized some pretty amazing slight of hand to slip a harness onto her, and we were back in business. The llama business. We should be pretty clear by now, we were excelling at.
Now here I am with my own farm. I have a decent carpentry background and I build a nice sturdy fence. For everything we've done here, I've researched what the animal needs and then completely overbuild it. Like with the pigs. They don't care about the fancy house they've got. They have a puddle and shrub. Done. You think the chickens care that I built them a guest cabin?
It's either sell the llamas or raise the fence, I thought. And who raises a fence? I don't think I've ever seen a single farm fence that was over 4', no matter what the animal. I can't add a couple feet to our fence. I can't. Who does that?
He was darting around, lighting box after box as all hell broke loose above him. Meanwhile, the chicken tractor was just a short distance away and all our plump, sumo roosters were probably falling over each other having heart attacks.
The pigs were going mental. They panicked hard, ran a few tight laps inside their pen as each rainbow starburst shrieked and exploded above them. Then they plunked down in the mud and took in the show. Probably fell back asleep.
Crazy is going from a 700 square foot apartment in East Vancouver to 140 acres in rural Manitoba. Crazy is thinking we can raise pigs just because our neighbours say it's easy. Crazy is buying llamas off of Facebook. But crazy is what we do.
These are just some of her adventures so I was eager to read her exploits in South America. A two-woman, 5,500-mile cycling adventure sounded like the perfect escape to read about as it was the furthest thing away from something I would like to try! But surprisingly by the end of the book I found myself thinking wistfully how I wished I could take six months off and find a cycling partner...!
As you would expect from such an adventurous escapade, there were multiple things which went wrong. From being attacked by ants in the tent to being stung by a scorpion, not to mention dealing with dog bites and gastroenteritis. But what shines through the entirety of the book is the rapport and friendship of Anna and her travelling companion Faye Shepherd (who she affectionately calls Faye-Bomb). Anna says herself that she has tried to be honest in the book and not romanticise it too much, so she describes the arguments they have on the road and how they overcame them. She really describes the relationship between the two women and the difficulty of having only each other to rely on. Anna says in the book, "It's hard to explain the kind of relationship that develops through that level of intensity." Their closeness shines through Anna's writing.
The feeling of freedom and adventure is so evident in the book. I loved, for example, the the description of riding the switchbacks on the way to Santiago and the pure exhilaration they felt doing it.
As well as the friendship, the other 'character' in the book was nature. Anna's description of the beautiful scenery and landscapes really made me want to experience it myself. The heat of the Yungas jungle, the thrill of riding down Death Road, the salt flats and the majestic, beautiful mountains. The parts about wild swimming made me very jealous as I'm a swimmer and that would really appeal to me. There is also a very amusing part about being starving hungry and the stove not working so they used a tampon to light a fire. Note to self for camping, carry emergency supplies of tampons.
As well as this there are animals they encounter along the way. Including seeing llamas and flying Andean flamingos, tarantulas, condors and Patagonian cavies. Of course there was some downsides to the creatures; bugs bites, dog bites, scorpion stings and more!
In conclusion both Anna and Faye are bad-asses. Anyone who can cycle 5,539 miles through 3 countries, making 10 border crossings and 107,753 m of ascent through the Andean mountains is officially amazing.
