Last night Keiana and I had some boys over who had served their missions in Argentina, and they introduced us to a drink called mate. It is this mixture of dried chopped herbs that you put in this metal cup with a leather outside, and a silver straw with teeny tiny little holes on the bottom to suck up the water. You put a spoon full of sugar on top of the herbs and then poor hot water into the mixture and then sip it out through the fancy straw. And then you basically just keep continually keep doing this until everyone has drank the flavor out of it. It was quite good, and it was a fun little activity to get to know people and I was able to find out quite a bit about the Argentine culture.
But the thing is, when you have about five cup fulls of this thing, with a spoon full of sugar per helping, you get quite a sugar rush! Keiana and I literally could not calm ourselves down enough to go to sleep until about 2:00 in the morning! Now, Keiana and I are both probably crazy out of our minds on our own, but when you get the two of us hyper at the same time, you've got trouble. Needless to say we were pretty dang funny at 2:00 in the morning, we for sure got some good quotes on our quote board haha.
