Chile and the llama
A few years back Ray and I went to Chile to see the comet go over with NATO. They let me go along. It was an interesting trip. I'm really sorry about the earthquake for we had a great time and it is a beautiful country, much more advanced then many of the South American countries. We had to go north where we were going to be close to the desert to view the comet. We had lots of instruction so we would recognize what we were seeing and we visited many interesting places. Before we left, our doctor had us get tetanus shots as he did when we went to Africa. One day at lunch we noticed that they had a llama on a rope who was eating the grass. I was standing beside a man who had saved his roll from lunch for the llama and gave it to him when he came up to us. Then the llama looked at me for a roll which I did not have so he reached over and bit me. It hurt. When I got home it still was there and I went to the doctor but since I had my shot before I left I was in fine condition. Not even a scar but it really hurt at the time. I had seen the llamas in Peru when we went and even thought they were very attractive but now I'm not sure I like them. They used to have a herd of them in south Johnson County across from the park where my granddaughters played baseball but I keep my distance in case they are hungry for something besides grass.
