| Mexico City bread. November 2018. |
Every day, I go to the same bakery. In addition to offering the prosaic bread I seek, it seduces its visitors with sweet concoctionary dreams.
From the crowded sidewalk, the interior looks like this:

Bolillos, white and brown, nestle in a wide, deep nursery of sorts, sometimes warm from the oven, where they await plucking by those of us ready to gobble them up.

A brief tour in this video below:
Let´s talk costs of my daily bread:
- White bolillos x 2 = 3 pesos
- Wheat bolillos x 2 = 5 pesos
- Seeded, flat roll x 1 = 5.5 pesos
- Total for day = 13.5 pesos = 66 cents US
I am put in mind of the Bowie Bakery in El Paso´s Segundo Barrio.
