Home is where the heart is.
It's also an apartment above a beautiful garden where you eat and relax during your siesta (a real period of time each day from 2-4pm).
By the way, siestas are wonderful things. The city essentially shuts down for a few hours to allow people to eat and relax during the day. Like, who wouldn't want to work for four hours, then have a two-hour break to eat a huge lunch and then nap? Meals are usually spread out throughout the day. Breakfast is at 9ish. Lunch is about 2:30pm. Dinner is about 10pm. And lunch is usually the largest, with three courses throughout the meal. For me it's been a huge bowl of soup, a plateful of salad, (real) bread, and a dessert.
Solid. That's how your stomach feels by the time you're done. Try fighting drowsiness now. You practically have to sleep.
I'll be uploading pictures of my room soon. It's so cozy. I love it. I have oranges on my blanket. And like I said, my window overlooks the garden.
The garden is my favorite part :D
Me encanta el jardín mucho.
Yes, home is where the heart is. And it's also one of the best places to learn Spanish culture. From eating a lot to watching telenovelas, it's been one of my favorite things about the experience so far.
