The Land of Siestas is The Land for Me!

I love it.
Right around the time to digest lunch and when the sun is at its hottest, everything shuts down for a good 3 hours.
I think it´s more un-natural to try to work and keep going when your whole body and mind is screaming ¨Take a break!!!¨
I did learn in class though that the correct siesta española lasts only 30 minutes and is strictly done in a soft chair/recliner.
You mean when I sleep in the hostel bed for 3 hours that isn´t a true siesta??? ;)

We talk a lot about the differences btwn Europe and the US in class and it always goes back to this:
Us Americans are crazy money-obsessed workaholics always multi-tasking and in a rush. Mmm, sounds familiar...
I think I´ll move here.
