Our weekly excursion was to the Victory Ranch of Mora, to learn about and feed the alpacas. Alpacas are related to camels and llamas, and are raised for their fiber (fur). The fiber is very soft and warm, and is highly sought after for socks, gloves, coats and scarfs. The alpacas are very friendly and like to eat from your hands. They have no upper teeth, so you don't have to worry about them biting your hand. The alpacas are protected from predators by several Great Pyrenees dogs.

After leaving the Victory Ranch, we drove into town for some great Mexican food at one of our favorite restaurants in the area...Hatches. All meals are followed by a basket of freshly-made sopapillas...with honey of course!
