With Llama Love

The llamas have once again brought their bright spirits to campus this academic year during the fall 2019 finals season and brought joy and good energy to the curious minds making their way through Memorial Glade.

I have been working with llamas for 37 years, taking them to the mountains, llama shows, nursing homes, schools, weddings, corporate rollouts and Rotary Club meetings. My eyes have seen the excitement, laughter, smiles and joy that the llamas bring to people of all ages and ethnicities.

There you can see black void in the Milky Way that is shaped in the form of a Llama. This "Black Llama" features the two brightest stars in the Southern Hemisphere, Alpha Centauri and Beta Centauri, the "Eyes of the Llama".

On Friday, students flocked to UC Berkeley’s Memorial Glade for Llamapalooza, a human-llama social occasion on a sunny campus lawn.
