I went back to Etla to get a shot of Doña Vicki, who makes such wonderful cheese. When I got to my tortilla lady, I discovered that she had morphed into my (other) tortilla lady! I always kinda follow the same path from vendor to vendor and could almost do it with my eyes closed. I end by buying vegetables and turn, go down two steps and there on my right, is the tortilla lady, always in the exact spot. You can see the steps and the spot in the shot.
I always say something, some wisecrack or comment, but today, I realized I have been buying tortillas from two different women, but only one is there at a time and they looked enough alike, so that I remained myself, you know, oblivious. I would think, "Wow, she looks much different today," but c'mon... duh. It never clicked in my pea-sized brain... until just that moment.
They look like they could be sisters. I will have to ask.
