= = ** In Some Spanish Countries, **__** La Siesta **__** : **

==== La Siesta is a nap taken after lunch. It is usually taken in warm places because the heat would make the people very tired. La Siesta lasts about two to three hours and the people go home from work to take a Siesta. The tradition started because Spanish people became tired after eating a big lunch, and because the heat had also tired them. It was also made up so that the people may spend extra time with their families when they were eating and then they could go to sleep so they wouldn't be tired later on. The people could go home a little before noon and then go to sleep exactly at noon, because the lunches lasts one to two hours. The wife makes a big lunch, which has alot of side dishes which is a great amount for the whole family. It IS taken at noon, but the shop keepers have to eat later because many people come during the time they are open to eat food, if the peoples mothers couldn't make lunch or they lived alone. ====
