ORIGINAL: paul.troutfisher I too watched and enjoyed it. Wish they spent more time explaining the rouge hippies that live in the caves above town. Sounds like they are a bit of a problem for the area, but maybe played down. They also kept talking about the pace of life: late rise, light breakfast, work to 12, eat/drink a lot, nap for one hour, work afternoon, go home, eat drink until late. Sounds great, but who's doing all the work? Seems like a bunch of people must be working for all that to happen :) Living in America, and more specifically Silicon Valley of CA, our pace of life tends to tip more to the work side:( In general I say it's more like, get up EARLY work till 2, everything closes from 2-6, then stuff opens and stays open for business LATE. And then they go party and drink till morning almost, and take a nap before getting up for work. So 8 hr work day is spread out differently that's all. The only thing different about the lifestyle really is that the SIESTA lets people stay up later and still function well.
