Big, heavy breakfasts at the crack of dawn? Check again.For a night owl who hates the cold, this is a problem.And then I read about Spain, a country with a warm, Mediterranean climate, where they serve chocolate con churros for breakfast at 11 am, and where entire families start their evening meal at 10 pm.Now that's the kind of place where I'd fit in...
