Businesses come and go in Merida. As the economy improves,
more businesses are opening.
Recently, on a Monday, enroute to a new physical therapy
clinic, I stopped by the Punto Café near the clinic to get breakfast and a cup
of coffee.
I was greeted by Beatrice, who offered me some sandwich samples. I choose an egg and tomato sandwich and Americano coffee with milk.
I always try to use my Spanish. As I struggled to make my
sentences, Beatrice asked if I spoke Italian. Nope. Beatrice and her co-owner
Luca were Italians. They had lived in Merida for several years.
Just as I was finishing my sandwich, Luca offered me a piece
of apple pie. He said it was because today was the first day their café opened
and I was their first customer.
I was surprised. “The first!” Rarely, do I get to be first
at anything. So, this was exciting.
The café is long but large and colorfully
decorated. I took some pictures of Beatrice and Luca, the apple pie, and more.
It was an enjoyable breakfast.
