Everything is slower paced here. Everyone makes time to sit down and enjoy a meal or coffee. Even businesses close during the afternoon. Siestas are a wonderful thing. The eating schedule took a while to get adjusted to. Breakfast is at a normal time, but then it gets wack from there. The amount of coffee I get in the morning fills 1/3 of the mug. This is hard for my eyes to get adjusted to. The most popular thing is "Cafe con Leche." They do not even have a normal (American) coffee maker. Mom, mail me. Lunch usually is not until 3:00 p.m. It's usually more than a course. Can't complain. Dinner is less food and usually around 9:30 or later. Tapas are common for dinner. In Spain people go out for "tapas" all of the time. It's basically a snack or appetizer.
Now it's essay time, and Spanish essays usually take a little longer than English one's. All I know is that I hope Real Madrid won tonight because it affects everyone's mood around here.
