Behind Bar in La Paz

by Maxine Roth

Flat noon light bleaches the color from the crowded interior of a small chichería in La Paz, where condensation beads on the side of a glass mug resting on a scarred wooden counter. Behind the bar, a vendor in a thick woolen sweater sorts through a stack of white ceramic plates, his hands moving with practiced efficiency. A bright red plastic stool sits abandoned near a display of dried corn cobs, against the dull grey of the concrete floor. The space is tight, packed with shelves of bottled sauces and hanging dried herbs, creating a cluttered but functional workspace that reflects the high-altitude daily routine without any theatrical staging.
