Mexican cookies



We’ve done the campground shuffle once again and are back in Orlando. The Shuffle is mandatory because of our time share like membership in Thousand Trails. It’s a little different than the more familiar condo time shares because for our yearly fee we get 50 nights of camping in any of 59 different campgrounds, two of which are in Florida.

Anyhow we’re back for two weeks. Moving isn’t any inconvenience for us, we can pack up and be road ready in ten to fifteen minutes. After a couple weeks in one spot we’re usually ready to move on to someplace new. There is a small town called Bartow that we pass thru when we migrate between campgrounds and we always stop for cookies in the Mexican bakery there. The El Patron Supermarket is a hidden gem we found a couple years ago when we had a flat tire across the street. 



As you can see in the picture, it’s a small ethnic grocery store/restaurant/bakery and to be honest if we hadn’t broke down in front of it we probably would have never stopped there. We’re usually the only non Hispanic customers, but they are very cordial and bake the best cookies and pastries.
