juice

As you can probably tell, i´ve had a lot of free time today. We just finished lunch and I wanted to tell you about the drinks here. They drink a ton of Coke- I mean the nasty, gross, full of sugar kind. But every day for lunch, when Pau´s dad, Jose Luis, gets home we have fresh juice with our food. Pineapple, limonade... it´s great.

As far as alcohol goes, none of my friends here drink. Alcoholism is a HUGE problem here- many say it goes back to the Mayan roots which still have such a hold on this area. So they don´t drink. Because they´ve seen it destroy so many lives. Neighbors. Strangers. Their own families.
