Yes, I, too, have come to appreciate siesta for all the activities you mention, and usually spend it online, either creating a new post in the quiet of the afternoon, or taking a short nap in the darkness of shuttered rooms! <br /><br />Still have my fingers crossed and am anxiously awaiting your news!!<br /><br />Happy Sunday!<br /><br />PoppyPoppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011248318265372337.post-15373563451557384812014-07-06T08:28:02.074-07:002014-07-06T08:28:02.074-07:00I don't mind the heat while sight seeing as lo...I don't mind the heat while sight seeing as long as I have an air-conditioned room to return to. I always make sure to book a hotel that has it. I like your photos so much, especially the ones with the baskets and the horse.

But, as you say, it does give the perfect excuse for doing very little and simply relaxing. Enjoy!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.com
