This town is awesome. \u00a0Really walk friendly too. \u00a0What rhymes with latte but is obviously way more addicting for some? \u00a0If you answered mate’ (pronounced Mah-tAA) you are correct. \u00a0When walking about in this place I happened to notice an abundant number of folks enjoying this hot tea-like beverage. \u00a0There are three pieces of equipment needed to partake. \u00a0First a special mate’ cup and filtered straw, and also a thermos. \u00a0The thermos is necessary because once addicted you can’t let go. \u00a0Once the liquid is consumed you will find in the bottom of the cup or mug a sludgy greenish-brown paste; much like long chewing tobacco which has been thoroughly enjoyed. \u00a0See the many images that a snapped surreptitiously. \u00a0People of all ages seem to be enjoying this stuff. \u00a0In America mate’ exists, however like the original Coke Cola of 1906, it does not contain the addictive ingredient.<\/p>\n

His thermos is sitting on a table. You can see the silver top.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This consumer drinks and holds with the same arm. This grasp is know as the one-arm.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"This<\/a>
This apparent tourist seems to be mug testing in order to get into the game.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Lovers<\/a>
Lovers on a park bench enjoy too.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"Seems<\/a>
Seems one-arming it is the hold of choice.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"These<\/a>
These guys too. Mate’ knows no sexual orientation. Everyone seems to enjoy them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Again<\/a>
Again the one-arm hold is seen here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Another<\/a>
Another one-arm demonstration.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After a lengthy walk in order to get these candid shots I developed a powerful appetite. \u00a0Consequently I dropped into the most amazing assembly of BBQ restaurants I have ever seen. \u00a0The place was called Mercado del Puerto. \u00a0Translating to “market at the port.” It was a huge market at one time. \u00a0Now it plays home to about 20 or so BBQ joints. \u00a0They start cranking up the grill at about 10 AM by burning special varieties of logs. \u00a0The fire burns from behind the actual grill and then the hot coals are shoveled forward under the grills as needed. \u00a0I happen to enjoy an amazing slab of beef tenderloin from Argentina. \u00a0The aromas in the place could even make a vegan eat meat.<\/p>\n
