My mother, father and I were on my way to my Grandfather's house in Lawrencetown, Nova Scotia. On pretty well every highway in Nova Scotia, you pass by a lot of farms. One particular farmer's field we passed was full of large fuzzy creatures that were not horses or cows.
"Are those llamas?" I asked.
"No," my mom replied, "They're alpacas."
"Huh," I thought aloud, "I'm not sure I know the difference between a llama and an alpaca."
"Oh that's easy," my mom said, matter-of-factly, "llamas are ugly and alpacas are cute."
Thanks a lot Mom, that really clears things up, I thought. Although later when I googled "Llama" and "Alpaca", she wasn't wrong.
Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there.

I quite often see the llamas or alpacas, not sure which (I'll have to check to see if they are cute or ugly next time I'm down that way) as I'm driving down from the City to Greenwood. I had to check to see which Lawrencetown you meant... I'm in the one on the other side of Cole Harbour.
Those would be the ones I'm talking about, out towards Greenwood way.
