Quarantine Week 4: Our Daily Bread

Several days a week, we walk down to Obkirchergasse, a ten minute walk, to buy bread at one of the four bakeries located on the street.  The dinkle bread - bread from an ancient whole grain - remains our favourite. We have adapted to this European ritual of fresh made bread.  Over the last few weeks we extended those purchases to include pan a la chocolate, pudding, French cake, cheese cake or any other eye-catching (emotion-numbing) treat.

I continue to find it surreal to see all the masks and the police people everywhere as we go.   But the bread definitely takes the edge off.
