Doreen and I were walking across a two lane road, just near a roundabout. A car stopped closest to us and waited for us to cross, so we started across. A young man came onto the second lane to be sure to stop any car that could be coming around the circle. He had been standing beside an old pickup truck parked by the side of the road. Doreen and I hurried across and thanked the young man for his help.
When we were almost to the sidewalk, I could see shapes in the back of his truck. I thought he was carrying fruit, so I asked him what he had in his truck. He showed us his wares. He was selling bread and baguettes and sweet rolls and cookies. Also donuts and buns. Wonderful stuff. And it was all for sale.
For 55 pesos we bought 2 baguettes, one round loaf of brown bread, four large cookies and four buns. All freshly baked that morning. At 17 pesos to an American dollar, that was inexpensive. He told us he comes to that site 5 days a week around the same time of 3:30. We had never seen him in the past but I am delighted to know he comes regularly. You just never know what comes from walking across the street.
