I love it here! The history that is behind everything in this town is incredible. I love it. I could go to museums and cathedrals for forever. Marella has to be one of my favorite places here. It was so calm and so beautiful. It is the typical small Spanish town. Everything closes on Monday, just about everything is closed for siesta. It is just beautiful. As a group of us sat at a cafe on a Monday afternoon, I people watched. I saw the little old ladies walking to their house for their siesta and the children walking with their mom coming home from school for lunch and a nap. It baffles me that these people take a break from around one in the afternoon to about four. The entire afternoon they spend together, eating, taking a siesta, and talking. The children then go back to school, just like the parents head back to work. Can we learn something from these people? They are not always going, they are not concerned about how much they will loose because they are taking a siesta, they are happy. I think that the US could learn a thing or two from these well rested, relaxed people.
