Oldest man alive in world lives in straw-roofed dirt-floor hut at 13,100 feet
(Associated Press) If Bolivia’s public records are correct, Carmelo Flores Laura is the oldest living person ever documented.They say he turned 123 a month ago.
The native Aymara lives in a straw-roofed dirt-floor hut in an isolated hamlet near Lake Titicaca at 13,100 feet (4,000 meters), is illiterate, speaks no Spanish and has no teeth.
He walks without a cane and doesn’t wear glasses. And though he speaks Aymara with a firm voice, one must talk into his ear to be heard.
