While we were at Macchu Pichu about 10 days ago or so, we spied this tourist trying to pet a llama. Needless to say, he was right behind his legs, and yes we might have said to each other..."I hope the llama kicks him." Stupid tourist.
actually, I was hoping he would get spit on rather than kicked. Seriously, as mean as it sounds--he needs to learn to not go up to animals like this. These aren't domesticated llamas you see every where else in Peru. They are in one of the seven wonders of the world and should be treated with respect. You can't tell, but he was totally making this llama nervous.
Awesome. I can't wait to see more pictures, especially of this particular area because that's where I'd like to go. I am even more envious than before now that I know you were there.
It is funny to think about "wild" Llamas kicking people. Maybe the dumb tourist has been hanging around at my Thanksgiving Point. I still don't go up BEHIND any animal (you know, from horse lessons and stuff) but our Llamas and Alpacas and Guanacos are all pretty sweet.
reminds me of the time we drove through yellow stone and some lady tried getting a close up picture of her and a wild moose .. we wanted that moose to butt her too ..
Why do people think wandering animals are pets and welcome human contact? Oh well, I guess it's not as bad as the people who think buffalo are overgrown teddy bears.

Here's your first pic, Shannon!
really neat photo!! Have a good Wednesday!
I've seen people doing these sorts of stupid things to the wild horses at Assateague. Buttheads. Happy WW - mine's up too.
Or he's lucky he didn't get spit on too. Happy WW - mine's up too.
Llamas + anything = instant hilarity.

Looks beautiful there, but I hate Llamas - they spit :-(
I've never been near a llama (or a lama for that matter) Great photo
Would have liked to see the kick! TEE HEE
Oh, that's great. The tenacity of a tourist! Neat shot.
Awesome picture! That man is lucky he didn't get hurt. Some people just don't think!
Great shot. Yep, standing behind a Llama isn't very bright. Duh! Happy WW.
Probably dumb question..but do the Llama walk around like that? Just loose?
Beautiful animal! Happy WW :)
i've never seen one so far. i bet they look good in real.
THE SIMPLE TIMES IN LIFE
I'd be rooting for the llama, too. Thanks for sharing.
I'm rootin for the Llama too! Great pic!
That tourist must not have been very bright.
Woo-hoo! I'm a knitter and I know some spinners! What a good source for yarn!

Didn't anyone tell him not to do that?
At llama fest in Payson you can take a llama for a walk around the Krishna temple.
But you still don't stand behind them. Nope.
Love the picture!
That's a strangely-shaped llama. Lucky you to get to go to such interesting places.
...nice! Isn't there a animated movie with llamas? Happy WW!

THAT has to be spitting distance. Too close for me.
this made for an interesting picture..of course you just knew that the llama was going to have his fun..:)happy ww
