This is for Jessica and for anyone else who has been confused by the term "siesta." Everyday, from 2-4 everything closes and people go home to have a HUGE lunch and nap. Another indicator that the Spainish truly knows how to live.

I love Thursdays. I slept until 11:30 this morning (that's 12 hours of sleep, folks), did my devotions, some bathroom exercises and showered. Siesta lunch was potato and pork soup, fried chicken, bread, fruit. Today, it was only Luis, Allison, and I at the table (way awkward). He's so cranky and wears the same pair of green slacks everyday. Poor, sweet Asencion has been in bed sick today. Allison and I are going to buy her a Valentine on our way home from classes.

Madrid this weekend! We leave tomorrow at 7am. Expect a long post on Monday :)
