BOLIVIA

Although we are now in peru enjoying the not so sunny days at the beach.... we remember bolivia.... you cant beat lunch for 90 cents!!!!

after being there for a few days jessi overheard some fellow travelers saying ¨oh my god!!! i saw all the zebras having lunch today!!!!¨.. slightly confused because we are NOT anywhere where zebras she inquired.....

apparently because the traffic is so bad in la paz, (which we have witnessed first hand... crossing the street is like playing a game of frogger) it´s not completely out of the ordinary for people to get hit by a car. drivers dont seem to care if you are crossing.... they just acknowledge your presence with a friendly beep that says ¨get the hell out of the way because im not slowing down!!¨over 20 children got hit by cars and died last year trying to get home from school. The city installed this program where people dress up in zebra costumes to help the kids cross the street.. kind of like crossing guards.. but more like they go and dance and jump around in the street in order to get all the cars attention so that they stop.

our LAST day as we were leaving our hostel to go to the bus station and head north.... WE SPOTTED ZEBRAS IN LA PAZ!!!! pretty funny thing to see.....
