Hay Hielo



Sunday 3 February 2008

A typical Paraguayan sign: We have ice. People here love mate just as much as, if not more than the Argentines, but with one vital difference - they drink it ice cold. The cups are a little taller, usually made of cow horn, and the thermoses are much bigger, to provide a constant supply of ice water. They call it "tereré."
It's funny, everywhere around Argentina and Uruguay you see signs advertising the availability of hot water, and here you see all kinds of signs for ice.
