Sweet San Fran

Diego and I were in San Francisco taking a break from New York and the Nightmare Haunted House.  While we were there we celebrated Mexico’s tradition of Día de los Muertos.  We participated in the Mission District parade, danced and walked along with musicians, puppeteers and other artist parents.  Dressed as brides, grooms and calaveras both Mexicans and non-Mexicans strolled streets remembering past souls. 

We could not leave San Fran without visiting a coffee shop so we decided to visit La Victoria Bakery & Kitchen there in the same neighborhood.  It was just the thing to do to end our celebration because La Victoria is the perfect pit stop for any family.  They served tamales, sundaes, and Pan Dulce galore.  One could find anything from Banderitas (small flag poles) to Conchas (delicate colored breads made with the perfect amount of sugar).  Most of the breads sold at Panaderias (Mexican Bakeries) are made of flour, sweet cream butter, eggs and sugar.  While we were there they also sold the famous sugar skulls that are a staple to Mexican Culture.

Enjoy the pictures.  We are back in NYC and posting a blog on the East Village’s OST this week!

La Victoria is located at 2937 24^th Street, San Francisco, Ca.  For more info visit: http://www.LaVictoriaBakery.com
