This is a typical home in La Paz. The door leads into a small front yard or courtyard, and the house is behind. The walls generally have shards of glass from broken bottles embedded at the top to serve as a kind of deterent to intruders. The houses are all built with either brick or adobe and typically have a concrete floor. This particular family had only packed dirt for their floor. Poverty is a huge problem.

That is a pritty sweet wall there. I wish that I could make one like that. Maybe the cats would stay out of my yard....
Courtyard eh? You say their poor with a COURTYARD? Huh. My cardboard box doesn't have a courtyard. Just a tire on top to keep the roof on.
