Tía Graciela invited us over to her farm on the outskirts of Cochabamba to visit her llamas, peacocks, ducks, ostriches, parrots, and other exotic animals. The older girls got to ride her horse too. Having spent several decades roaming the jungle, Graciela loves animals, and they love her back. Her house is unique as well–it has no hard edges and the architecture mimics nature. What an experience for the kids!
