Описание: Don Alberto Hernández Vidal era originario de Ixtlán del Río, a una hora de Compostela. Toda su familia eran panaderos. Llamaba a su panadería "Panadería Ixtlán", incluso después de mudarse a Compostela. Cuatro de sus hijos aprendieron a ser panaderos, mientras que su hijo Mario estudió medicina. Su esposa, Chayo, también hacía pasteles para vender en la playa.

Don Alberto Hernandez Vidal was originally from Ixtlán del Río, about an hour from Compostela. His whole family were bakers. He called his bakery, "Panadería Ixtlán," even after he moved to Compostela. Four of his sons learned to be bakers, while his son Mario studied medicine. His wife Chayo also made pastries to sell at the beach.

Mi hija Maya y yo nos estábamos quedando con la familia. Probablemente me levanté a orinar y vi la luz encendida en la panadería. El hijo mayor, Alberto, había recibido un pedido para entrega temprana. Recuerdo a su padre con su delantal y su gorro de panadero. Diría que era el mejor panadero de Compostela. Vendía principalmente al por mayor, y sus hijos pequeños repartían a pie en tiendas y restaurantes.

My daughter Maya and I were staying with the family. I probably got up to pee and noticed the light on in the bakery. The oldest son Alberto had gotten an order for early delivery. I remember their father in his apron with his baker's hat. I would say he was the best baker in Compostela. He mostly sold wholesale, with his young sons delivering on foot to stores and restaurants.

Mientras Alberto trabajaba en la panadería, el resto de la familia seguía durmiendo. Volví a tumbarme en el sofá, ya que eran solo las 6 de la mañana.

While Alberto worked in the bakery the rest of the family was still sleeping. I went back to lie on the couch since it was only 6 a.m.
