December 6th started out as a good day and got even better. As we were finishing a few departure tasks at the dock in Isle de Navidad, we were delighted to hear the sound of the French Baker's bell. Jean-Charles, originally from Normandy, worked in Mexico City before recently acquiring his own French bakery in Barra de Navidad. Each morning he makes rounds to the marina and anchorage, selling his baked goods and French wares from his modified panga, which he refers to as "my office." For the sole purpose of demonstrating our support for small business, Jean-Charles pulled away from Traveler with fewer pastries, one less jar of homemade mango marmalade and one less bottle of French wine.
Precisely the scene I was thinking of when I read the word "Zihuatanejo". Is that Traveler between the H and U or in the middle of the U? What luxury with the mobile bakery. Glad you are continuing to enjoy the epic adventure, you two! Hello from the rainy Bay Area.
Great entry and pics....they really tell the story of your experiences.
Of course you have to support those small businesses! ;)
