A bread story from Boa Vista

One morning in Boa Vista we went for a walk, exploring city streets. All of a sudden we smelled a delicious aroma of baking bread. We thought maybe we could follow the smell, but it was useless. Suddenly, we saw a young boy with a small cloth bag. Carlos asked him if he was going to buy bread and he said yes. So we followed him. This is where he led us. The open doorway is the "Padaria", or bakery.

This is the view from the doorway. What you see is a glass case with different kinds of sweet bread. Sweet bread is not sweet like it is in the US; it's just slightly sweet.

We went inside and bought a couple of pieces of bread from a sweet old lady. Then Carlos told her the story of how we had smelled the bread and followed the little boy. She said, "Just a moment", and went inside and came out with warm "bolillo", just out of the oven, and she wouldn't let us pay her for it. It was SO delicious; it almost melted in our mouths! When we go back, we are DEFINITELY going to that Padaria again!!!
