Leisure

In Itlay their leisure time is in the middle of the day. All the stores close down and people go home. They sit down together at home, relax and have family time. Stores closing down in the middle of the day has been hard to get used to; it seems so inconvient. I know its not strange for them because it is waht they are used to . In the U.S. I feel that our leisure time is after a full day of work and on the weekends. I prefer getting work over with all at once and going home for the rest of the day instead of taking a long break and going back to work. I'm not very sure what people do for leisure outside of Rome but I do see that they sit at cafes with their friends, walk their dogs, or just relax in a park or piazza. When I have free time I like to see my friends and do things outside. Where I live people usually do things outdoors as leisure activities or have picnics. Overall the biggest difference in leisrue is what time we do it and the way we plan ours out.
