The lapa man/woman


This is a man who walks up and down our road selling womens' clothes like lapas and dresses. He is no ordinary salesman...
He dresses like a woman! You can't really see it in the picture, but he is wearing a lapa! He is also carrying a doll on his back in a lapa just like the women do. Not only does he dress the part, but he sings crazy songs at the top of his lungs and tells stories as he is walking along. You should hear this man's voice! It is like nothing we have ever heard. It is hilarious though, because he does it all as a big joke to attract people to buy lapas from him.
