Cookies in Siena, Italy
We walked by this bakery in Siena, Italy several times during our visit. It’s quite a departure from the bakery of my local grocery store. The woman in the photo looks like my grandma!

The mother looked at the items and seemed interested enough. … Continue reading Day in the Life of a Street Vendor
