Siestas

Europe does it right. They walk everywhere, eat just the right amount, drink wine everyday, and take siestas. Most countries in Europe take a 2-3 hour break in the workday afternoon. Stores shut down, the streets get quiet, and people take naps. There is nothing wrong with this concept, America. We are so driven and constantly trying to get ahead, we forget to take care of ourselves. I wish America could slow down every once and a while and just take a siesta. It would make people less grouchy, more efficient when they return to work, and overall, I believe, society would be happier. In fact, I would really like a siesta right now, but I have to get ready for class...
