sweet rolls

In Prague, the traditional sweet roll in the pic is the well-known speciality, which can kept attracting tons of foreign sightseers.

I took the pic in a small shop located near the Wenceslas Square, and actually bought and enjoyed the sweet roll. Taking a bite of the roll, I felt the slight smell of cinnamon, and sounds of crashing tiny rocks of sugar on it. In a small shop, the middle-aged woman silently kept rolling the breads to make tons of sweet rolls, and sometimes answered bluntly to the sightseers who wanted to try the roll.

Before coming the small shop, I also got the other sweet roll in a stall located in front of the supermarket near the main street in the city. The stall was small and made by the quasi-wooden materials, anyway, painted dark brown like a sweet roll. Just like the proprietress in a small shop, the middle-age woman in the stall kept rolling the bread, and sometimes took a roll reluctantly to the shoppers who held small changes. I still remember that the stall' s roll was cheaper than small shop's, and also only slightly the taste was better.

Here was Prague.
