Leisurely day in Madrid

Rebajas or "sales" in Spanish are going on all over the shopping districts of Madrid. I have realized that even though these rebajas are usually 50% off...they are the death of me. Luckily school starts Monday so I can get to work and take my mind off the fashions of Europe!

Another key aspect of Spanish culture I am taking full advantage of is siesta. You all know what that is...nap time from 2-5! It was explained to us during the Azahar seminar that siesta is a dying tradition because of the large amounts of young people entering the workforce who stay at work all day instead of coming home for lunch and a nap.

I have found my purpose in life...to reinstate the importance of siesta!

Buenos tardes,
