Bolivian tidbits
- The car washers at the end of my road (using a creek and pumps) wash cars inside and out, taking out all the seats and even hosing the interior down. I'm always impressed walking by them.
- Why is that all the banana sellers cluster together, all the tires sellers, all the kiwi and tomato sellers? How does that help them?
- An Aymara woman in La Paz told me that the Aymara are really mestizos, that they come from the white European conquerors who picked the "best" Indian women to create a new population.
- milk comes in a bag.
