I posted about the national drink, mate, on September 24th, explaining its significance and usage. Here is a photo to stress just how common a drink it is. I was sitting on the curb one day, waiting a few minutes between two classes in the same neighborhood, when I looking down and noticed that there was used yerba, or the mate herb, all over the street. Clearly this was a spot where someone frequently sits, drinks mate, then dumps out the old yerba when it is flavorless. You really do see people drinking it anywhere, and at any time.
