Day 7: Bakery

There is a bakery almost on every corner. Some are specialized in cupcakes (there's so many of them), but most offer various choices. Some are bigger (huge), some are smaller or even tiny.  In most you may pay with a credit card, some one is special. The 'special' one is called "La Espiga" and is at the corner of Insurgentes Sur and Baja California (metro "Chilpancingo").

It not super-extra-amazing, but it has a big variation of pastries and is very cheap. AND I was surprised about the paying method. When I saw their cash register I immediately understood there's no way I could pay by card. The machine was from around 1940s and I've never seen anything like it. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me, but it looked something like this one:

Oh, and I got some pastries, of course. One of them was so funny - a chocolate mouse. It's like soft chocolate cookie with a hard chocolate topping. Lithuanians know it as 'bulvyte', but I've never seen it made so beautifully. 


By the way, the ears are made of almonds and the tail - of a toothpick. And it's very tasty (the mouse, that is, not the toothpick): )
