Last day of the 2009 season!

Time is up! The months have flown by, people are getting ready to close their homes and head up north. If I were to try to describe this season I would not know where to start.

From day one, we enjoyed looking at the sun coming up over the mountains. Our town was just beginning to wake up. Once in a while "CD", our neighbor's dog would show up at the bakery and would sit on the porch to make us company. Or... maybe to smell the nice scent coming from inside, hoping for a small morsel. A few hours later, with the bread made, the baskets full, the tables set, the terraces raked, the porch clean, the music going, the welcoming flags out, the quotes of the day written... another day at Peace and Loaf was about to start.

Every day was a different day. Some of the faces were familiar, some were new. Some were carrying The Calendario in their hands and with a proud voice announced "We made it", we did not know what "el otro lado" meant. Some were referrals, friends of friends, some were bakers. We met at least four more bakers this season. That was great fun to exchange notes.

But the most important thing that we always come out with is the happy smiles, and the connections built between all of us. We are all part of the big web of life and we are interconnected.

This last photo is of our European friends: Conchita, Magda (of Tres Gallines), Sylvie and Vincent.

Till the next one my friends! New Season Nov. 2009 - April 2010.
Thank you all. Muchísimas Gracias.
