So I got completely lost yesterday. I was about to get off the bus in an area called "Mexico" and an elderly lady on the bus grabbed my arm and told me to stay on the bus. She asked where I was going, and explained that "Mexico" was very dangerous (yes, I know, very ironic) and that I shouldn't get off there. This lady (Lourdes was her name) took me by the arm, scolded the bus driver for not warning me about the neighbourhood, walked me all the way to my destination, and gave me the cookies pictured above. She makes them herself and goes into town every day to sell them. I was blown away by her kindness. Thank you Señora Lourdes!
