Just a couple of blocks from our brand new apartment building in Salem, Oregon some ten or so years ago was open farmland. We’d walk down the major street with lots of traffic, turn down a side street and these llamas were the first things we’d encounter. We could actually see this field from our apartment window. We were the first to rent this apartment after it was built, and the combination of modern convenience and being a stone’s throw from a rural environment was a combination you just don’t see too often. Many fond memories (and a few videos, which I’ll be posting over the weeks and months to come).
