Good morning all.

Let's start with a postcard from daughter who went to Rome's Trevi Fountain last night

She has an international group led by a Spaniard. They had to persuade him to schedule yesterday's evening meal a lot earlier than his plan... the Spanish traditionally eat about 10pm even at home, most of the rest of Europe dines out about 7-8pm and the Americans wanted to eat even earlier than that apparently. They ate at 8.30pm!

Yes, some Americans like to eat early. Most local restaurants aren't open past 9 pm. We eat really early. Lunch is our main meal. DH gets heartburn if he eats late. When we were in Arabia, the locals didn't eat until midnight!

Good morning, Linda.
Lovely photo.
Yes, the Spanish have a siesta all afternoon and then work in the evening so eat late. As I eat even later it suits me.
