This is a country of some very hard workers. Outside mom and dad's apartment is the sweetest lady. Her name is Gaby; she wears the traditional dress everyday, sits out in front of the apartment and sells fruit everyday! Her fruit is very good and we try and buy everything from her. She sits out there from 10am till around 7pm EVERYDAY! Hot, cold, windy, etc. sitting on a wooden crate, selling fruit.
The above picture is a very common scene as you drive through Bolivia. Families working in their fields. This family is actually really well off because they have cattle to help with the plowing. More common is for the husband to pull the plow because they can not afford cattle. They work from sun up to sun down trying to feed their familes. And after this hard day of work they are not going home to a hot bath. I have so much respect for these people.
