Don't Understand

Lannan Bakery

Try as we might, there are some things we just don't understand. We don't understand single item retail stores that sell cupcakes or olive oil (how do they stay in business). We don't understand a sanitary landfill (it is a dump, or a parkway (it is a highway). Side note, the list of things we don't understand seems to be getting longer the older we get (guess we are not getting smarter). Now, we can add one more item to the list.

We don't understand the bakery on the corner where we have our flat. Walk by there any of the four mornings a week they are open, and there is queue (a line), a very long queue (see photo). The queue persists. It is there before they open, and it is there for hours and hours until the bakery sells out for the day. People are coming, not just from our neighborhood, not just from Edinburgh or Scotland, but from all over the world. We don't think any baked goods can be worth that wait. That's right, in the few years since this place opened, it has gone viral. Thank you, Instagram.
