Longest Siesta Ever
Mendoza is a ghost town between the hours of 2:00 and 6:00 PM. It's like people just float off into some other invisible hidden indoor world. What do they do all afternoon? 4 hour lunches? 4 hour naps? Video games? Anyway, it's eerie to be out walking around and just see people disappearing left and right. And then all of a sudden at 6:15 the streets are packed again and the sidewalk cafés are 4 deep with tables of beer drinking, ice cream eating, happily chattering crowds... and they stay this way straight through to 3:00 AM. No wonder they call this place Men-doze-a. I´m not quite down with this routine yet, but I'm slowly learning to like it...

You certainly seemed to like siestas whenever I wanted to drag you on a bike ride, Dan! What's with this flip-flopping?

You actually think they're playing PAC-MAN during a siesta?
Come on Dan, I brought you up to be just a bit more inventive than that!
(Think, "Latin blood!")
