Day 75: Shouting buses

Another feature of La Paz is the shouting buses. The streets are full of vans that pick people up on every corner. Although they usually have a sign showing their destination, there is one person whose job it is to hang out the door, shouting out the names of the neighbourhoods ahead. Sometimes this person is a child of about 10, sometimes it is a woman holding a baby.
