Being a pedestrian in La Paz city can be a real hazard. Immediately you are hit with a wall of smog, and then you try to cross any street; it´s like a game of frogger. But fear no more as there are zebras here to the rescue. yeah that´s right, zebras. The furry striped mascots can be spotted throughout the cityscape at some of the busiest intersections, helping the herds of people cross the rivers of danger. There are many strange and interesting things to see here in the bustling city; a golden cowboy, a ragged lady with her tambourine, 5 year old boys dressed in traditional garb strumming on their tiny worn out, out-of-tune guitars, all hoping for some dinero to make it through another day. All of them make me smile and wonder, but it´s those cute traffic zebras that help us on our way in this crazy urban jungle.
