This piece about pastries and croissants takes me all over the world! Those walks up Avenue Mozart to the buy a snack were always a pleasure. Something comforting about entering the shop and saying "Mesdames. Messieurs" gave me a sense of belonging and camaraderie. Every one there were on the same quest! Flakey, buttery, sweet, perfect with coffee from Port Gentil, Gabon to Djakarta, Indonesia - I have savored them all!

I loved going for a trip down memory lane and remembering all the pastries we’ve sampled together all over the world! I remember you bought me a pain au chocolat after I won a gold medal after a swim meet in Jakarta once too! 💕 thank you for reading and sharing your sentiments Dad!
