Whereas in America we have one last name and when a woman gets married it changes to her husband’s last name. La Siesta. In the early hours of the afternoon, when the intense heat of the sun discourages physical activity, people take a rest period, la siesta. Business people shut their doors at about one o'clock and go home to eat lunch with their families. Lunch is the biggest meal of the day and a time for the family to gather together.
In this quiet neighborhood, the children’s voices are like sirens that never turn off. One can hear “tag you’re it!”, “ready or not here I come!” or just the basic scream, “ahhhh!” from the comfort of their own bedroom. While some of the children are running around others are on their bicycles or little motorized trucks and cars. After running around, I joined the others with my bicycle. I rode my bicycle around the cul-de-sac –going up and down the hill while packing some friends as we ride down this steep slope, feeling the cold wind blow through our hairs and faces.
February 11th, 2011 Put the Pedal to the Medal On a snowy afternoon after the school bells rand my friends and I ventured out into the parking lot. It is always a zoo out there; cars starting up in every direction and students talking in all corners. Making our way to the car is not the issue, getting out of the parking lot without being in an accident, on the other hand, is awfully irritating. There are constantly other students trying to maneuver their vehicle out of the lot in a rush to leave school. Once we actually got out of the White Bear South Campus parking lot we took a new road where not many others were headed thinking to ourselves that there would be much less traffic.
Beth’s office is through the kitchen in the back of the store. The Paradiso’s mission statement is “To build a lifelong partnership of raving guest, associates and stockholders”. Her job is to order supplies, doing schedules, hiring employees, cooking, serving, counting the register at the end of the day and taking care of the store. Beth says her least favorite thing about her job is the turnover never having enough people to run the store. There are times that she has to be the manager and the cook at the same time.
As soon as you walk in they grab your attention with a large windowed area where you can watch the chefs prepare and cook the food which, subsequently, shows that they are proud of the food they serve, the quality of the food, and the way that they prepare it. The semblance of the restaurant is a rustic, old western saloon style with furniture made of logs and rich fabrics, old fashioned coin machines, and to add an interesting and quirky touch, there are some animal busts hanging from the walls. They have a very interesting pulley fan system that is running throughout the restaurant, all of which is completely connected. To add some color and brightness to place they have a few decorative lamps that are from tiffany co. Overall, the lighting in the restaurant is pretty dim which makes it more of a relaxed and comfortable setting and the seats are extremely comfortable due to the nice cozy cushions.
I fingered the ridges, thinking of all the great food we’ve flipped together. I couldn’t do it so I called Emily and told her about the situation. She said, “Are you serious John? Handle it like a man!” She laughed and hung up on
Mine include spending an entire weekend with my computer on my lap working on that 24 page final paper for Mr. Hale's class, pausing only long enough to get another cup of coffee! We’ve all had the pleasure of waiting for hours in line to get into the bookstore on the first day of the new quarter, only to wait an hour or longer to get out of the bookstore and then pray that we make it to the first class of the day - on time! We have made lifelong friends, learned to be part of a community and had some crazy adventures. For you, some of those could have been all night study groups with too much food and way too much caffeine, those students involved in sports who had bus trips to away games or the field trips like mine to the Dayton Art Institute (for Art Appreciation) when a few students got lost or one whose car wouldn’t start afterwards. These adventures provided us with fun, stress, and new appreciation as lessons learned by life itself.
Advertising of fast food keeps costumers wanting more and more. Anytime costumers see the satisfying sandwich, instantly their mouth waters for the taste of it. Local grocery stores and convenient shops have ads and coupons from the local fast food franchises. The coupons increase the costumers appeal to the restaurant because of a possible discount and full belly. The situation is very ironic because the grocery stores with nutritious food advocates for fast food restaurants that are, in context, competing with their sales.

I miss the large lunches that are eaten at exactly noon every day. I love how all the neighbors have their radios on really loud, and in the evening it gets really quiet because everyone is taking a siesta. It is country where the people leave their front doors open during the day and you don’t have to call your friends to tell them that you want to visit.
