"Yazd, Iran a woman walks with her daughter on a deserted street in the waning winter sun. Little stirrs here in the late afternoon during the Persian siesta."

- I write fiction, poetry, am working on my first novel, and I write this blog about living with my husband and three (soon to be four) little kids in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. You'll find a little bit of everything here, including stories of our world travels and photos from around the world.
Is it really called a siesta there too? Why haven't we Americans adopted such custom?
ReplyDeleteWell, it is a siesta in all but name, I'm not sure what the Farsi term is for it, but I will ask around and find out. I have to admit though, as nice as a three hour nap time in the middle of the afternoon would be, when you are visiting a place it sure makes for a devastating lack of anything to do.
