No Means No

Shel wanted to grab a treat, so we went to a cafe and picked up a couple of treats. The total came to 7 pesos ($0.70). Not bad! We paid for our food and grabbed a table. A waiter brought over a menu, and we decided to order two cups of cafe de olla (coffee with cinnamon).

The waiter brought out our coffee, and asked if we would like pan (bread). 'No, gracias', we replied. We were surprised when the waiter brought out pan anyway, and lots of it! And, this isn't just pan, but pan dulce, and consists of about seven or eight large sweets, like donuts and bearclaws. But, we weren't too worried, since we knew it wouldn't cost much. We ate about half of it, bagged about a quarter of it, and threw out the rest (which were coated in butter...ewww.)

The tab came to 35 pesos ($3.50), a very decent price for a dessert meal!
