Um suco de açaí e um misto quente

On almost every street corner in Copacabana is a juice bar that carries a variety of fresh juices and sandwiches. One of the many things I miss about Rio de Janiero are the misto quente (grilled ham and cheese) and ice-blended açaí - All for as little as $3 USD

Iguazu Falls for Dinner

I wish I could remember the name of this place. But I can tell you that tonight's dinner was absolutely memorable - the drinks (caipirinha morangos), the food, and the company - que magnifique.

*Caipirinha (pronounced [kaj.pi.'ɾĩ.jɐ]) or [KIE-PUR-REEN-YAH]) is Brazil's national cocktail, made with cachaça (pronounced IPA: [ˌkaˈʃasɐ]), sugar and lime. Cachaça is Brazil's most common distilled alcoholic beverage. Like rum, it is made from sugarcane. Cachaça is made from sugarcane alcohol, obtained from the fermentation of sugarcane juice which is afterwards distilled.
