La casa está dónde el corazon es

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.
