BROOM SELLERS - BOLIVIA by

It’s a slow day for these Aymara broom sellers in La Paz. Has the global financial crisis reached Bolivia?

    Is that your dog in the shot ?

  • Yes – that’s my pug – Watson. He went down to South America on a whim – said he wanted to work on his Spanish. He ran out of money, fell on hard times, and ended up on the street…selling brooms. I haven’t seen him since 2004.

    how funny – your dog with the bowler hat – havent been to La Paz in a very long time — doubt it has changed much — Happy New Year Michael – hope it is healthy happy and productive – dave

  • Dave – Happy New Year to you too. I would have to say that La Paz is the most fascinating large city I’ve ever been to. It’s situation on the Altiplano is sensational. But the people really make it – thousands of chubby Cholas – so exotic that you couldn’t make it up.

    There must not be many sales in the broom business. Very nice shot. Thank you for adding this to our group “Sleeping Creatures”.
