Cuyes!

So this is the video you're all dying to see, I know. When we went to Otavalo and Atuntaqui last weekend, we visited Andres' father's cousins. They farm and raise animals and we were able to meet some of their delightful cuyes (guinea pigs). I thought maybe it would be said because I like guinea pigs and these ones are destined for lunch, but then I thought, they don't have such a bad life. They live in large pens with their twenty closest friends and family and munch on greens all day. They seemed happy.

 

These are some cuyes playing in their pen. And below is me playing with some baby cuyes! Hurray!
