breakfast


i have been more in the mood for breakfast lately...
actually, almost every morning is an orange juice morning. but lately i have been visiting the sandwich lady too. nearly every morning i walk about a block away from SALI where i find the familiar face of a woman that knows my orange juice order... so when she sees me coming  she pulls out a bolsita (little bag) and starts measuring out some fresh squeezed orange juice. this lady must have some hardcore arm muscles for as many juices she squeezes each day.  one day i shook up our relationship a little bit... and what? drank the juice there. i always get my juice to go.. and take it back to SALI to drink. but its more common for someone to stand there with her and drink down the vitamin C before they head off to their next stop. that day i decided that i would reach for a little conversation. i thought today is the day... today im in. ... well our conversation didnt go very far... she was more interested in just selling me juice and moving on with her day... but theres hope, i see hope in her smiles each day :) 

next the breakfast sandwich lady. this i would say is best described as breakfast, fast food style. 
again about a block, but from where i live, theres a lady each morning with different kinds of sandwiches.. filled with avocado.. egg.. sweet potato... tortilla (like an omelette) ... for 50 centimos i can get a filling start on my day. i like to imagine that her smile when she sees me is more over the fact that i always order the same thing... and not the fact that i am the only female getting a sandwich from her... yeah...
