I'm on Spanish Time

Today I finally mastered the art of the Spanish schedule. I took my first real 3 hour siesta! (Thank you Sofia for singing me to sleep.)

Below are some activities of a typical day in La Puebla del Maestre.


Morning Walk - We try to wake up and get out of the house before sunrise to take advantage of the early morning fresh air. Luckily for my parents the sun doesn't rise until around 8:30. The roosters start singing when it is still dark. I love to listen to them in the morning. Here we are on a family stroll. Mom is being silly. Maybe that's the effects of all of the figs she has been picking and eating. They are everywhere!


Home for Lunch - Lunch is the most important (and biggest) meal of the day. For example, today I had a banana, a pear and a slice of watermellon, all of which I ate by myself. As you can imagine, lunch is always followed by a bath for me (I still like wearing the food as almost as much as eating it). Our house is the one across from the payphone on the right.


Siesta


Tapas - We like to go our for a walk in the evening around 8 when the sun is low in the sky. Then we sit for some drinks and tapas (cereal for me) around 10. It doesn't get dark until 10:30! Then we head home again for a good night's sleep.
