After a delicious breakfast of hearty waffles prepared by Chris (he admits he never makes them the same way twice - a little like another cook I know very well), we got ready to go on our llama trek. And for those who wonder, a llama trek is really just a walk with the llama. Because it had been so rainy and wet, we took our trek down the driveway and out in the open area rather than up on the mountain. I was leading Pepe and Elvin had Jonas. Pepe was, in the words of his owners, in a grouchy mood. He did not want to stand still and had a lot of energy. Every time we would stop for a few moments he would go in circles around me. Llamas are interested creatures. They do not like to be hurried and will stop to eat as you are walking along. One needs to be patient and wait for them. It was a fun experience.
After we returned for our llama trek, we changed clothes and headed out for the day. We headed back to Rockbridge Winery, a delightful place we discovered last fall and then took a scenic explore through the back roads of Virginia. We ended up driving along part of the Blue Ridge Parkway, looking out over God's beautiful creation. We were on top of the world - or so it seemed.
Back in the valley again, we decided to stop at KFC and pick up meals to bring back to our B&B for our dinner because we didn't really feel like going out again. It was great to sit out on our little patio and enjoy the nature as we ate. A ruby throated hummingbird came to the lilies right in front of us, but we didn't have the camera handy to take a picture. We spent a relaxing evening reading and talking.
