Bakery Shopping is Serious Business in Xico

I'm sad to say that bakery treats in Mexico rarely taste as good as they look but they do look good and I'm still always tempted. This shop in Xico, Veracruz, was so noted for its pastries that my friend Gabriel went a little nuts.

OK, so maybe they're not up to Paris standards but a few of these and a steaming cup of hot Mexican chocoalte sounds pretty good about now.
