Friday was an exciting day in La Paz ... we celebrated the 9th Anniversary of our dear friends, the Zebras (see Zebra
post). For nine years, Paceños (people from La Paz) have been safely crossing the street with the aid of our zebra friends. To reward the zebras for their contribution to the city, the municipal government hosted a party. Unfortunately, this meant that all of us not attending the party were stuck on street corners without any protection for crossing the road. It was chaos in the streets without our friendly zebras. They looked to be having so much fun at their party, while we suffered in the streets. Yeah - happy anniversary.

Despite our fears, Paceños were ready to rock and/or roll Friday night, welcoming the band Dr. Queen to La Paz! Yes - a Queen cover band from Argentina came to La Paz and it was AWESOME! The lead singer kept his character during the entire performance and was quite the showman - Freddie Mercury-style. He never even spoke a word of Spanish, only speaking English throughout the entire performance. It was great.

You can't see that many zebras in a zoo!
