It´s a Boy!

No, not me! Today for school we went on a field trip to a farm called La Querencia. It is located about 30 minutes outside of Lima, in a place called Lurin. They had guides that took the kids around to different parts of the farm and played games, showed them how to make butter, milk cows, etc. while the teachers sat at a picnic table, snacking and gossiping all day. They also had other animals like vicuñas, goats, sheep, horses, pigs, chickens, turkeys, geese, guinea pigs (the poor guinea pigs were squealing and their sad eyes looked at me as if to say, "Please, don´t eat me!"), rabbits, and these very strange quail-like birds that Pedro says are called gallinetas.

After an hour or so, one of the guides came over and said, "Do you want to take pictures of the calf being born?" We ran over just in time to witness the whole thing! It was absolutely disgusting, but exciting at the same time. After it was over, one of the teachers told the kids to go home and thank their mother! LOL Anyway, here are some pictures of La Querencia...don´t look at the bottom if you don´t want to see a calf being born.
