On the Way home from Black Sheep

On the way home from black sheep

We left way too freaking early in the morning!!

We decided to go home on the coast… Did I mention at this point we are on the way home From Eugene after attending the Black Sheep Gathering.

We wanted to go home along the 101 of Oregonian and Northern CA… This is summer, there are … RV’s Trailers and Oregonians ( I am not talking smack but come on the gas is on the right!).

So we stopped as we usually do in Bandon for fish and chips! But they were closed.

So we went to a new place and had kettle Chips and Crab Cakes.



The Crab cakes while they look like pucks were tasty little bits. Different then Maryland but awesome all the same and with Dungeness Crab.

Also A stellar Menu!!!

All the 101

Not only were their tourist!

But there was also a lot of freaking road work!!! Like 10 flagging places. ( did I mention I was trying to get home to work).

I then got home and went to work ( with out even seeing the chickens).

When I got home they were despondent and angry.

There were a lot of eggs too!

Black Sheep Gathering - 1

So Black Sheep Gathering.

We Left Humboldt at 4Am….

We were trying to get there in time as our friends from southern California were showing at the CAGBA ( colored Angora Goat Breeders Association) national show.

The ride there was lovely as we saw sheep along the way

We got to the show and saw Allen from Eureka Mohair

Then some sheep…

Then mom and I decided to go look at fleece from the fleece show… Big mistake… Giant mistake…

WE looked at fleeces. There were a lot of awesome ones., but most of them weren’t for sale.

We decided on two Icelandic and walked outside where there was 35 or so people waiting…To get in and buy the fleeces, I had not bought one here, at most places I have been it is different. Someone mentioned those crazy bride dress sales, because this year there was only a third the number of fleeces there were last year.

There were twice as many behind us. I asked mom if she would bail me out of jail for smaking down a 50 year old lady for a fleece.

We got our fleeces…

We then went to the hotel and took the silkworms out of the box.

We then had dinner moms and mine.

Punishment VIA travel gods

So Al and I went to the airport after 4 hours of Sleep. I forgot my earrings so we had to go back






Misti

My flight went from Arequipa to Julianca


Juliaca to Cusco

Cusco to Lima.

Breakfast

LIMA

Lima doesn’t have Aeromexico stand… remember this if they tell you to tick up your ticket here. I spent way too much money in the gift shop and Got Oakenking Centimos.



On The way from Lima to Mexico City you got to love LAN

Pretty Pictures of screen




Lunch You know wine and Coffee afterwards ( at lest I ate)


Oh looky the flight

Then In Mexico FIASCO!!!! Immigration is nec even if your only Transferring. No one knew about where to go for transfers, everyone insisted you have to re check in.. NOPE

The kind of nice lady at Aeromexico in Mexico CITY scolded me. I then had to rego through Security.. The Problem … I was stopped, there were 3 people trying to help me figure out where my stone was, and of course as soon as they opened up my luggage it Vomited… Yes Vomited yarn everywhere, two kilos worth. .Then more people had to come watch then I found the stone and they had to ask what it was for and I said cooking. Then as I started to repack I could hear people snickering. I was very embarrassed as I stuffed the yarn back in turning tons of shades of red.....

Whatever....... I had to chuck my water ( boarding not at security, )and be on the world’s most uncomfortable seat. This seat is the seat in front of the Emergency Exit Row (these seats you cannot put back). Four hours later we got to LAX… where I was transferred on a bus…Oh then there were three lines of people going through Customs, I think they lady didn’t like me cause she wanted my bags x-rayed…. I was in line forever then they guy said Oh no you can go… So yeah… Fun..We got home at like 2AM
