That reminds me my grandpa´s village at Extremadura, 40 km NE of Mérida.
In summer, you wake up late, walk fast to another house, stay there as a guest, eat, return to your house, give thanks to God because your home is at 20º, (archane technology built houses:lol: ) and the street at 45º sleep the siesta, have the dinner, and go out to street when it´s night and only 25º then at 3-4 am (even the little kids! ) return to your home, and sleep until you can´t due to the hot.Repat again. In Saturdays, return to home at 12am. (Of the Sunday!)
There is no way of not getting mad there! :lol:

Also, the bronze gates of National Museum of Roman Art at Merida in summer are a good example of how metal at the sun can outmatch any friying pan! :lol:

Er, well... the wild dogs of Italy (and the Mediterranean at large) do not seem so content and happy when they are awake, in my experience, being rather angry and aggressive, or tired and pathetic (in the sense of provoking pathos).

I had been to Rome this year in October for a week and did a day trip to Pompeii. But not only there did we see dogs but also at the excavation site of Ostia. There were two dogs at the cafeteria and I guess some visitors surely overlook the signs saying "don't feed the dogs" because these dogs looked well nourished. When not strolling between the tables and see if there was something edible to get they were lying lazy in the sun.
