Its been a full week in Espana and I am starting to speak in Spanish with a lisp. No bueno. The Spanish life style is absolutely fascinating. They say here that the US lives to work, where in Espana they truly embody the philosophy of working to live. Its a Sunday and almost everything in town is closed for the day off. A few restaurants and bars remain open and many parks are holding festivals . That said, supermarkets, pharmacies, city offices, and retail stores all have the day off. During the week, life in the city starts about 9am, with people working until about 1-2 in the afternoon. Then siesta time kicks in and just about the entire city shuts down. Then, by 5 everything is back in order, with many stores staying open until 9 or 10. Families are often out with their children eating dinner around midnight. Then bed and repeat the next day. Definitely a lifestyle I could get used to.
Also, to everyone reading this in the States. Can I get your opinion on how a true Granada style Spanish Tapas bar would do in the states? Free tapas with every round? Yeah :)
For those of you following who I am not friends with on Facebook, Blogger is limiting photo upload. Everything I take is going on Facebook however, add me if you wanta see more.
Voy a la tapas con mis amigos!
Hasta manana!
