The Fishers in La Paz, Bolivia

Just wanted to add to my “You know you’re in Bolivia when . . .” list. Today Avery and I were at the playground, and she yelled, “Look, Mommy!” I turned around to see a cholita (woman in traditional indigenous dress) urging three donkeys (or are they mules??) down the sidewalk. She was batting at them with a switch as they struggled to carry the hay strapped to them uphill. I have to say this never happened to us in North Carolina. Geese we saw by the dozens, but no donkeys!
