The weather has been lovely here for the past few days -warm and sunny. For the first time I didn't have to wear a sweater and a shawl in the classroom nor have to blow on my hands to keep them warm (I felt like Bob Cratchit at times!). Anyway, during the very long break between my Friday classes -9:50 am to 4:20 pm!- I went out into the neighborhood next to my apartment to go to the great little bakery I had found. This neighborhood is awesome, full of little shops, restaurants (sort of), street vendors, you name it. The first time I went was last Sunday when I took these pictures. Some of the shops are obviously chain or franchise like the one I went in which was like a much larger Claire's Boutique (if Claire's also had office/school supplies and socks and clocks...). It had Hello Kitty! stuff (Hello Kitty! is big over here. Yay!)! Other shops are open fronted, Mom and Pop kind of places.
Pineapple on a stick is big around here. Street vendors, like the one in this pic, sell them. They are cut in a quite artful spiral kind of shape.
(to be continued later...I'm really tired!)
